Flood rescue hero heads troopers
State Police Lt. Domenick F. Spigarelli, commander of the Center Barracks, earned a gubernatorial citation for leading helicopter rescues during a July flood. He and other pilots saved 97 people, aided medical evacs, and moved victims to shelters amid dangerous conditions from July 20 to 29. Spigarelli, a pioneer in police aviation since 1969, rose from private pilot to lieutenant and chief helicopter pilot, later serving at Greensburg and Ebensburg barracks. He is a native of Old Forge, a Navy veteran, and resides in Hershey with his wife and three sons.
