Tom Fountaine, borough manager, honored five police officers and one public works employee at the State College Borough Council meeting Monday night with the Life Saving Award after their acts
Lt. Barrett Smith, Ofc. Larry Crawford, Ofc. Cameron Earnest, Ofc. Dean Woodring, Ofc. Benjamin Capozzi and public works employee Jonathan McClure were named recipients of the Life Saving Award during the virtual borough council meeting. The certificates will be presented in person at a later date.
“[They] exhibited the highest degree of bravery placing their own lives at risk to save the life of another,” Borough Manager Tom Fountaine said. “Under extreme conditions these borough employees located and physically extricated the victim who was totally incapable of assisting with her own extrication. These employees were able to move the victim approximately 65 feet from the burning home to safety. These employees were exposed to the smoke and fire conditions for three and a half minutes that it took to extricate the victim.”
