Members

The Medal of Valor is the highest award given by the Fire District. It is designated for District personnel who, during an emergency call, demonstrate in great degree, personal courage, bravery, and boldness in the performance of their duties, which may have included the possibility of extreme personal risk. The award consists of a medal, a ribbon bar with accompanying certificate of presentation. In addition members who receive this award will have their names displayed on a plaque in the fire station.

The story has been told many times, but it is important that we tell it again here. On December 15, 2010, companies were dispatched to a reported structure fire on Bridge Street. Truck 51 was the first fire unit on the scene, with Engineer Kinne, FF Guyer, and lt. Forbes. They reported heavy fire out the windows and people stranded on the roof.

Lt. Forbes and FF Guyer were helping victims from the porch roof, where they were advised of a party trapped on the second floor. They found a victim at a second floor window and laddered the window to rescue that victim. At that time they were told there was yet another victim on the second floor that was trapped. Lt. Forbes and FF Guyer made entry into the second floor and through int3ense fire, smoke, and heat conditions located and rescued the trapped victim, who was in critical condition.

For their personal courage and bravery under severe conditions in an effort to save another’s life, and for actions that represent the very highest traditions of the fire service,
the Medal of Valor is being awarded to Lt. Chris Forbes and FF Brian Guyer.
