Celina Firefighter/Paramedic Mike Rockne and Denton Captain Daniel Boyd were presented with Lifesaving Awards by Celina Fire Chief Mark Metdker at a City Council meeting on June 14.
Rockne and Boyd were both off duty when they jumped into action to save the life of the young boy at a neighborhood pool.
CBS News DFW reported that Celina Mayor Sean Terry said, “I am so proud to celebrate these brave and heroic first responders who were attentive to a nearby crisis and leapt into action to save a life. Our firefighters are such a special group of civil servants, and their immediate response of service and skill resulted in a happy ending to a horrific situation.”
After the firefighters received their awards, Chief Metdker and members of the Celina Fire Department presented the young boy with a personalized Celina Fire Department protective gear similar to what is used when responding to emergency calls.
