July 13 Meeting Recap

BOS Recognize Eight Officers for Their Heroic Efforts

On May 24 2021, Officers John Kuykendall, Kelly Borshch, Blake Bryant, Danny Byrum, Cain Allin, Tony Martin, Charles Leftwich, and Animal Control Officer Dana Newmeyer responded to the 5300 block of Courthouse Road for the report of a single vehicle accident with entrapment and fire.  These officers took turns approaching the burning vehicle utilizing their fire extinguishers to put out the fire on the passenger’s legs and slow the fire enough to extract him from under the vehicle.  They then took turns carrying the passenger up the embankment which was still burning around them. Once the Officers were able to get the passenger to the road, they moved him a safe distance from the fire and provided first aid to him and the female driver.  The Driver was transported to Southside Regional Medical Center and the passenger was transported by Med-Fight to MCV.  All officers involved sustained minor burns and singed hair.  Were it not for the quick actions of these officers, the vehicle driver and especially the passenger would have perished in the vehicle fire.  All Officers involved did not hesitate to put themselves into harm’s way to save the lives of these citizens.

            The Board at its July 13 meeting commended all eight officers for their heroic life-saving efforts.  Chairman Brown stated that “as Chairman of the Board, he is proud to be here in Prince George County because we have the finest.”
