The Clearcreek Fire District crew that saved a trucker trapped in the fiery wreckage of his semitrailer on U.S. 42 in late October were honored Tuesday night for the valor they displayed in reacting at a scene their chief said looked like something you'd see on TV. Jeffrey Miller, of Union, Ohio, was left hanging upside down in the cab of his semitrailer that crashed when he drove off the road just north of Township Line Road the morning of Oct. 20, the state patrol said. Miller's rig was pulling a tanker of fuel. It was burning and phone lines were down -- power lines were across the street -- when the first Clearcreek Twp. Fire and EMS crews arrived.
