At Tuesday night’s Kent City Council, Public Works employees Josh Evans, CJ Burleigh and George Naill were honored:
On Oct. 4, 2019, the three of them happened upon an accident right after it happened.
-
-
- One vehicle was on its side and smoke was coming out of it.
- CJ used the service truck to block the intersection and started containing leaking fluids.
- Josh worked with George to break the windshield so the trapped woman could exit the vehicle. Josh stayed with her to comfort her until the paramedics arrived.
-
“Their actions exemplify the core values of the City of Kent and the Kent Police Department,” the council said. “They’re being commended for their quick actions to aid a community member in danger.”
