Schuyler Fire & Rescue gets recognized!!!
“The City of Schuyler presented a “Life Saving Award” for an incident that occurred on 3/1/2022 at the City Council meeting this evening.
On 3/1/22 Schuyler Police Department and Schuyler Fire and Rescue were dispatched to the South Park Lake for a possible drowning. Upon arrival 2 subjects who had been walking on the ice were in the lake at the Schuyler Park. Schuyler Police Sergeant Cheyne Terrell and 1st Assistant Chief Matt Prochaska were 1st on scene. Shortly after Firefighter Joey Kroeger and Officer Ryan Andel arrived on scene. With assistance from Officer Ryan Andel and Firefighter Joey Kroeger from the shore, 1st Assistant Chief Matt Prochaska and Sergeant Cheyne Terrell entered the lake to rescue the 2 subjects and bring them to the shore.
SVFD would like to thank these 4 men for their heroic efforts. The 2 subjects along with 2 additional subjects who had entered the water were transferred to CHI Schuyler by Schuyler Rescue to be evaluated.
Even though these 4 men do not want the recognition, which makes them true hero’s, for their heroic efforts Schuyler Fire/Rescue is proud of you and thanks you for your service and commitment to our Community.”
