Firefighter rewarded for his work of saving the life of a man in North Carolina

I admire the work of Asheville North Carolina Jay Bettencourt who was awarded by his superiors at the Asheville Fire Department at the annual awards ceremony at the Harrah's Cherokee Center in Asheville on Thursday May 1. Jay and a fellow firefighter named Corey Bass answered an emergency call during Hurricane Helene which hit area in late September 2024 when a man was trapped inside of his auto that was in a river. Jay and Corey were able to rescue the man who was inside his auto when they used a rescue boat to get the man to safety. Jay was awarded with the Medal Of Honor for his efforts of rescuing a man who was needed his help. The best part is that Jay claimed that he was doing his duty and he does not claim to be a hero.
