WHY:
On the evening of May 17, while returning from their junior prom, the teens saw flames engulfing a garage on Cavanaugh Road in the Maynard Fire District and immediately leapt into action; alerting the family, evacuating two young children and their father, and calling 911. Their quick thinking not only saved lives but also helped our firefighters do their jobs more effectively, preventing the fire from spreading further and possibly averting a devastating tragedy. Their actions exemplify the very best of our community.
Join us as we honor these young heroes for their selfless courage.
