Firefighter of the Year Award

Governor Patrick will present Falmouth firefighter Christopher Brown with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts's "Firefighter of the Year" award in a ceremony at Faneuil Hall in Boston on December 3 at 1100 hours. Firefighter Brown will receive the award for his actions at a fire on Deer Run Lane North Falmouth. When he arrived on scene with his partner, Firefighter Gary Sabens, to find a large house that was still under construction and a fire broke out in the attic. Firefighter Brown entered the structure alone and proceeded into the attic to rescue a worker that was unconscious and trapped by fire. Firefighter Brown went above and beyond his call of duty endangering himself to rescue the construction worker. Congratulations to Firefighter Brown on this achievement.
