Firefighters

On July 1st there was a car accident here in Salem. A 16 year old rolled his van into a swamp. He was ejected from the van and trapped under it. The Salem Fire Department and Ambulance were called to the accident. The boy was sinking so fast in the swamp underneath the van, there was no time for equipment. The firefighters all took a side and lifted the van up off of the boy so he could get out. The Mayor of Salem invited all of the firefighters to the City Council Meeting and presented them with this Certificate and the Chief of Police gave them a letter of Commendation. I thought it was really awesome and I was really proud so I thought I would share.
