A life was saved on the Washougal River on May 4, 2019.
That sentence says it all, but says very little, too.
A life was indeed saved that day, a rescue that involved many first responders from many departments.
On Tuesday night, Clark County Fire District 6 specifically honored four individuals, while noting that others could be honored in the future by other agencies. Francis Reagan of the Washougal Police Department was presented with the Fire Medal, the highest civilian award presented by the department.
Firefighter Bill Dunlap was presented with a Certificate of Exemplary Performance.
Firefighter Tony Lothspeich was presented with a Meritorious Service Medal.
Captain Scott Johns was presented with the Medal of Valor, the highest honor awarded to fire service personnel by Fire District 6.
