BUTTE, Mont. — The Butte-Silver Bow Fire Department has made history, thanks to four of its firefighters, Kahl Clark, Riley Hash, Lee Sullivan and Austin Perry. Besides their firefighting duties, the four men are all paramedics, which means for the first time there will potentially be a paramedic on duty for each shift.
