He's been awarded firefighter of the year for his dedication to his small community — and for training his fellow EMTs to be more efficient in their jobs.
Ron LaTray — our Unsung Hero — shows that it just takes one person to make a difference in their community.
“Ron is more of a guy who's kind of behind the scenes. He does a lot that people don't realize he does they just know that it's done. He's very passionate about what he does," said volunteer EMT Brandy LaTray.
Ron LaTray has been a firefighter with the Bad Rock Volunteer Fire Department for almost seven years, and an EMT for them for three years.
“An opportunity walked through the door and asked me to join so I thought well, I'll try and it became a passion and that's what's nice about volunteering is the passion. It's not something where you have to get up and do it. It's a passion to go help people in their worst possible time," Ron said.
