Fire Fighters Receive Police Valor Awards
Two Ridgefield, N.J., volunteer fire fighters received police valor medals for their heroic actions in saving the life of a Ridgefield patrolman during the apprehension and arrest of a mugger last July. The medals and certificates were presented to Fire Fighters Patrick Burke and Ernest Stephan of Ladder Co. 1 by Police Chief Thomas P. Mulligan.
Burke and Stephan participated in a neighborhood search for a male mugger suspect who had shortly before assaulted a middle-aged woman as she returned home from work. The fire fighters spotted and apprehended the perpetrator as police cars arrived on the scene.
