VIDEO: A La Crosse firefighter is being recognized for his bravery while saving the lives of multiple people earlier this month. While responding to a house fire on Ferry Street on April 7th, Firefighter Brian Green of Engine 1 rescued two people who were stuck on the second floor. After bringing one person down the ladder, Green climbed it again and removed the window frame to allow a second person to fit through before carrying her to safety. Thursday, the department gave him the rare honor of an award for his exceptional performance.
