Fire Chief Dennis Jenkerson congratulates Emergency Medical Dispatcher Loretta Anderson with a 2nd Lifesaving Award. Again, Anderson's devotion to duty made a difference. A medic crew had been assigned a sick case, but were unable to locate the address. The caller did not speak English as a first language. The case could have been coded unfounded, but Anderson suggested that the Barnes Hospital interpreter be called. A three-way conversation was initiated, the interpreter obtained an accurate address and the patient was transported in stable condition due to the excellent work ethic of Ms. Anderson.

Truck 34B (Captain Bruce Tucker, Firefighters Richard Harris, Steven Hayes and Mark Dildine) was dispatched to a fire. Upon arrival, the crew was met by a woman who informed them that her boyfriend went back into to find their puppy. An attack line was taken into the apartment, and the search began. A victim was found prone on the floor between the living room and bedroom. A secondary search found the puppy safe and hiding under a bed. Both man and puppy were fine.
