Eagle County Paramedics Services are mourning the loss of one of their own who died Friday.
Steve Zuckerman was responding to a backcountry rescue call in Vail at the time of his death. He was 61. The paramedics services did not say what the cause of death was.
He started working part-time as a paramedic for Eagle County in April 2008 and joined the full-time staff in May 2013. He also worked for Beaver Creek Ski Patrol for more than 25 years.
Zuckerman was a member of the Search and Rescue team, a field trainer and was training as a critical care paramedic.
