Heroes Awards:

Curtis Cazier ~ Preformed life saving CPR on Sky View High School student who collapsed while working out.

“Without everyone working together the outcome could have been very different,” -Cazier

Senior Airman Dominique Childress, USAF, and Chris Crowder ~ Rescued a mom and two toddlers who were stuck under a car at Layton Christian Academy after being run over.

"We have about 220 domestic kids and over 300 international kids at the school. They just heard me yell. All these kids from different countries just come running out and lift it up; girls, boys, it didn't matter. They just all took a spot in the car and lifted it," - Crowder

Kelly and Ivy Rountree ~ Saved a wheelchair bound woman from drowning in Stansbury Lake, UT.

"Once I felt his arm around me, I knew I could breathe, and I was so thankful. There are no words.... In a world where we just pass people and blow stuff off, here's somebody who heard somebody calling for help, and he was here. I'm here today because of Kelly." - Lisa Kingston

Tyler and Bruce Mahoney ~ Freed freezing trucker from an overturned semi; brought him to a warm truck and saved his life.

"We came across dozens and dozens of people who had slid off of the side of the road because you just couldn’t see it. You drive down into it maybe 20 yards and you can see a gulley that leads to the lake and down in that gulley was a huge tanker, a double-trailer tanker, with hazards flashing, tipped over on its side — which had obviously happened within the last little bit in the storm.” - Tyler Mahoney
