Congratulations!

Tuesday night, Travis and his fellow firefighters were awarded the State of Texas Medal of Valor for their actions on August 20th with the rescue of the 3 injured officers in the incident involving the barricaded man. The Medal of Valor is awarded to a member who, under especially hazardous conditions, has exhibited personal courage in an effort to rescue or protect another. This is the first time in the history of the city of Midlothian that a Medal of Valor has been awarded. We are so proud of our brave firefighter and thankful that he is home safe and sound!
