Two Frederick County men honored for heroic lifesaving
Lt. Bill Wallace and firefighter Jeff Scire of Frederick County were among five Washington firefighters awarded the silver medal for meritorious service for rescuing a woman in cardiac arrest during the Bush inauguration week. The crew helped doctors at the Washington Convention Center and used defibrillation during resuscitation. Both men modestly downplay hero status and expect more awards for others who deserve recognition.
