You may have seen this story on the local news, but if not, we’re proud to share it with you now.
On March 14, Matt and Michelle Forrester awoke to shouts for help and saw a car on fire between their home and a neighbor’s. They tried to alert the unresponsive driver while calling 911, watching as flames grew.
Without hesitation, Matt ran barefoot toward the burning car to rescue the unresponsive driver. He worked quickly to pull the man to safety, just 15 to 20 seconds before the car exploded.
Ring footage later revealed the elderly driver, who has dementia, had been stuck for nearly an hour before his car caught fire. Thanks to Matt’s quick action, a tragedy was prevented and the driver was unharmed. We proudly honor Matt and Michelle Forrester with the Distinguished Civilian Service Award — their bravery shows the power of caring neighbors.
Congrats Matt and Michelle Forrester. !!! 🎉🎊🎊🎉🎊🎊
