(daily-tribune.com) – Four Bartow County firefighters earned the state’s highest award for valor at the 2018 Georgia Fire Service Conference in Dalton last month.
Sgt. Jason Cline and firefighters Christian Howell, Ellis Bramblett, and Seth Burns received the Lifesaving Valor award from the Georgia State Firefighters Association for pulling a woman to safety from a burning house.
“On the night of June 30, they were working the A shift at Station 10 in Adairsville,” Deputy Chief Dwayne Jamison said. “A call came in that there was a house fire with a person trapped inside. The smoke was so thick, they could barely see the woman at the other end of the house. Unable to make access, the firefighters broke down the door and pulled the victim to safety.”
It is the most prestigious recognition a Georgia firefighter can attain.
