VIDEO: Flashing lights and sirens are constant in Adam Yaresh’s life. However, Saturday night, the lights and sounds he experienced were there to save him, though he’s used to it being the other way around.
Yaresh has been with the Brookfield Fire Department for the last six years. Before that, he worked on a volunteer basis with the Ixonia Fire Department and then in a full-time capacity with the Watertown Fire Department. He’s been the one running toward danger looking to help. But Saturday night, near County Highway X and Ranch Road, some of the same heroes he’s been shoulder to shoulder with were there to help him.
It was around 9:45, according to radio traffic, when Yaresh’s truck was involved in a crash. He was driving his daughter back from her high school homecoming celebration.
