51 Lightning Bolt Awards were presented last week.
Hosted by Northumberland County, Survivor Night provides a chance for survivors and their families to reconnect with the first responders who came to their aid in 2021.
One such survivor, Michael Tarrington suffered a heart attack, and while enroute to hospital, his heart and breathing stopped.
He is alive today because first responders, as Deputy Warden Mandy Martin put it, “… answered the call of duty, putting the needs of others above all else.”
The presentation of Lightning Bolt awards is in recognition of the life-saving care provided by the courageous women and men working in our community and caring for us in our critical hour of need.
