award for toppled crane rescue
. A heroic rescue by the Seminole
Volunteer Fire Department earned the
department a quarterly national
award and eligibility for an annual
honor.
The department received a “Green
'Cross Award” from the Hurst
Corporation, manufacturer of the
“Jaws of Life” for the fourth quarter
of 2000 for the work done by the
local department at the scene of a

department helped extricate a man
from thp cab of the crane. The rescue
took atx>ut two hours and involved
not only the local department, but
emergency agencies from both Gaines
and Andrews counties.
Each time the “jaws” are used, the
local department applies for the
award. Quarterly winners are chosen
based mi information presented in
their Green Cross applications and a
committee selects two winners each
quarter. The committee looks for
incidents where the circumstances of
the rescue were unusual and the
deployment of the company’s rescue
tools was out of the ordinary. All
quarterly winners receive a plaque
from Hurst and their names, company
and details of the incident are posted members.’
on the Hurst Internet site.
Quarterly winners are then eligible
for the annual “Rescue of the Year”
award, which went to die Greenwich

not win the national honor, the
department did compete against
applicants from around the world

Chief Lance Barrett, said, “We feel
