It's ! Today's recipients are Adam Barfknecht and Tristan Kostreva (Kaukauna, Wisconsin).
Adam and Tristan were finishing up their workday when they saw a plume of black smoke just beyond the trees near one of their homes. Because it was in their neighborhood, they decided to go check out the scene. When they arrived, they found a fairly large, unmonitored, and uncontained fire. They quickly called 911 and began trying to extinguish the blaze using dirt, shovels, and other items. The fire department arrived and quickly put out the fire. Homeowners had started a fire in a burn barrel that lost containment and were incredibly grateful that someone noticed the fire and took action. Adam and Tristan went above and beyond to ensure the safety of their community, and we are truly grateful to have them on our team.
