Rick Wold: Hudson’s long-distance EMT

Rick Wold’s dedication to St. Croix EMS & Rescue is a bit mystifying to anyone who hasn’t experienced the joy of public service. The 51-year-old Eau Claire man rises early every Wednesday morning and drives 66 miles to Hudson, where he puts in a 6 a.m.-to-6 p.m. shift with the local ambulance service.
