August Service Above Self Award

Our service above self award was presented to Rick Smith with the Greeley Fire Department this month.  Rick has been with the department for 15 years and is a forest fire paramedic.  An amazing story was shared by one of Rick’s colleagues, Jeff Odell, about how Rick saved a fellow firefighter’s life back in June.  The firefighter suffered a heart attack while fighting a forest fire in Rocky Mountain National Park.  Rick happened to be in the same area when the call came in and saved the man’s life by acting so quickly and efficiently.  Rick’s wife, Jennifer, also attended the meeting last week when Rick was recognized by our club.  Thank you to Rick and Jennifer for their sacrifice and dedication to our community.
