First responders at Springfield Gardens fire
Four police officers have received this year's Fire Rescue Award from the Red Cross, after the arson at Springfield Garden Apartments last January. Officer Chase Bolodeau spotted the flames while on routine patrol, and after calling in the alarm began evacuating apartments. Three other officers arrived--Mike Kurgan, Frank Vito and Randy Andrews, to help with the evacuations, and, in part, used one of their SUVs under a window and standing on the roof to get the leverage and height they needed for the rescue.
