 ======================================
 
The Bridgehampton Fire Department is mourning the loss of Charles Butler II, who served in our Ambulance Company for nearly 30 years.
He died Jan. 20 at the age of 74.
 
Charlie holds the distinction of being one of the first advanced emergency medical technicians on the East End — and Suffolk County. Ed Gregory, also a past member who was then riding with Sag Harbor Volunteer Ambulance Corps, recalled how they took the class together at Mather Hospital in the mid-1970s. They passed with flying colors, but an issue the county had with the brand-new curriculum led them to have to take it twice before being allowed to take the practice into the field.
 
A Wainscott resident, Charlie joined the department in 1973, becoming an EMT in the Ambulance Company, of which his father had been one of the earliest captains.
In 1977, he was named Firefighter of the Year, also like his father before him.
 
As many of us remember him, John Scranton, another former member who went on to become a doctor, told us how Charlie ended up changing the course of his life. In 1978, “I was being heavily recruited by the fire companies, Packard, and Police and Salvage, to join the BHFD until Charlie said to me, ‘But we really need members in Ambulance Company.’ Even though I hated the sight of blood, because of Charlie, I joined Ambulance and became an EMT in 1979.
That was the beginning of my medical career. All because of him.”
 
Charlie assisted several others in EMS, and he will be remembered as a friend to many.
Our condolences go out to his wife, Wendy.
 
Bridgehampton residents may also recall how the couple were responsible for setting up the lit Christmas trees and American flags
along Bridgehampton’s Main Street for many years, before they moved to Florida.
