On September 16, members of the Madison County commission spent time recognizing the heroic actions of the Toney Volunteer Fire Department.
Earlier this year the Toney Volunteer Fire Department saved a man’s life. Now, the county commission is trying to bring more attention to the need for volunteer firefighters.
On Wednesday, county commissioners passed a resolution honoring the Toney Volunteer Fire Department for saving Jimmy Gonzalez’s life. Gonzalez and his family attended today’s ceremony.
Everyone in attendance at the meeting gave a standing ovation to the Toney department in agreement that the small group has made a huge impact.
“They got there, the family member was giving CPR to Mr. Gonzalez and the other four medics from the Toney Volunteer Fire Department continued the CPR and were successful in bringing him back,” said Phil Vandiver.
