Two Employees Praised For Heroic Efforts

Two Taylorville Township employees were honored for their actions during a house fire in Hewitville on March 2nd. Leroy and Shawn Ackerman were checking roads in Hewitville that were to be repaired when the men spotted a house fire.  Upon hearing a resident calling for help, both men sprung into action forcing open a door, and pulling the occupant of the home to safety.  For their selfless and courageous act, both men were presented with a Lifesaving Award from the Taylorville Fire Department.
