Darren Doyle, story:
Chris Alford, formerly from Edmonson County, has won the National Park Service Traffic Safety Coalition EMS Provider of the Year. 

Alford currently serves as a Park Ranger and EMT at Prince William Forest Park in Triangle, Virginia. He was awarded the honor by making a positive impact by saving lives, specifically in the area of highway safety.

Some remember Ranger Alford as a former member of the ECHS band, an Eagle Scout, and the designer of the Edmonson County flag. He is the son of Janice Alford and the late Floyd Alford, and grew up on Chaumont Road in the Pig Community.

He also serves as Chief of Visitor Services and Information Technology and the National Capital Emergency Medical Services Coordinator. Not only does he serve as a first responder in the park, he's also an instructor that has created multiple programs and learning opportunities for the public.

I had the privilege of working closely with Chris when he was in high school and when he was a "Lone Scout", and I knew then he was made out of great stuff! This doesn't surprise me a bit. Way to go, Chris!!!!
