CAPE MAY, N.J. — While members of the nation’s fifth armed service are all trained as first responders, Petty Officer 3rd Class Ashley Climaldi has utilized her skills to save the lives of others both on duty and off.
Philadelphia native, Climaldi is stationed at Coast Guard Stations Cape May and Townsend Inlet where her role as an emergency medical technician has afforded her the skills necessary to save the lives of five people, including a 3-year-old girl.
On June 19, 2007, Climaldi was a member of a rescue boat crew responding to a report of a capsized boat in Ingram Thorofare. The boat crew arrived on scene, and Climaldi assisted in pulling three people from the water.
