Top Story: HE Major Awarded Medal of Valor |
|
When things get hot, Health Ecology major, Andrew Snyder knows just what to do, and the Department of Interior will award him its highest honor for keeping his cool. Last summer, as a fire fighter working a fire outside of Winnemucca, Andrew witnessed a water tanker clip a tire, flip and slide down the side of a nearby hill. He and his crew drove up the hill as far as possible, grabbed medical kits and headed to the scene of the crash, where they rescued the pilot just before the fire raced down the hill driving them away and igniting the fuel. Andrew recently learned he would be going to Washington D.C. to be presented the Medal of Valor, the Department of the interior's highest award. This summer has the potential to be another hot one. Be sure to congratulate and thank Andrew for his dedication and courage. |
