It’s been almost two months since Knoxville Senior Firefighter Eric "Bo" Merritt saved the life of a one-month-old boy from a burning building in East Knoxville and made the catch of a lifetime.
Tuesday night Merritt, KFD Fire Capt. David Frazier and KFD fire fighter Kevin Tippens were honored by Rep. Rick Staples, D-Knoxville, at the Knoxville City Council meeting with a joint resolution signed by Staples, Sen. Becky Duncan Massey, R-Knoxville, and Gov. Bill Haslam.
The resolution honored the fire fighters for their heroic acts.
