LOUISVILLE -- Louisville Volunteer Fire Department officers and members presented a Louisville youth with a Hero Award for his actions at a fire in August.
On Aug. 13, at approximately 8:06 a.m., 16 year old CJ Gay was babysitting at a neighbor’s home on the Willard Road in the Town of Louisville. At this time an electrical fire was discovered in the basement of the home. CJ quickly recognized this dangerous situation and calmly called 911. He then woke up the three children he was babysitting, evacuated them and the pets from the residence and took them to a neighboring residence. As a result of his early notification, Louisville firefighters along with assistance from Massena firefighters were able to quickly locate the source of the fire and extinguish it with minimal damage to the home. As a result of CJ’s quick thinking and action, no injuries or loss of property occurred.
