Local Heroes To Be Honored For Saving Three From Fire

This afternoon a special ceremony will be held at the Board of Supervisor’s chambers to honor 8 people in their life saving efforts. The Amador Fire Protection Board of directors will present certificates of commendation along with a Board of Supervisor’s Resolution in recognition of some local heroes who’s whose immediate reactions to a life threatening situation resulted in saving the lives of other residents who were trapped by a fire in their home. The fire occurred in early August on Pine Needle Drive in the Buckhorn area. Upon arrival on scene emergency crews realized that 3 residents of the home were trapped on the back deck. An Amador Co. Sheriff’s Deputy along with Fire personnel worked using a ladder to rescue the 3 residents, with no concerns for their own safety. The local heroes will be recognized today at 1:30pm at the Board of Supervisors meeting and the public is invited to attend to show their support for our local emergency rescue personnel and our Amador County Sheriff’s Department.
