T.C. Williams High School senior Addison Guynn was presented with a Certificate of Heroism by Alexandria Fire Department earlier this month for his bravery and quick action in preventing a major fire at his neighbor’s home.
Alexandria Fire Department Chief Robert C. Dubé surprised Addison in class and made the presentation in front of his classmates.
Addison’s neighbors Steven Crossett and Rita Longhofer were asleep when a fire broke out on their deck in early Fall. Addison noticed the fire and quickly jumped into action, waking and alerting his neighbors and the Alexandria Fire Department who then helped to extinguish the 10-12 foot flames.
Dubé urges families to check their smoke detectors, make an escape plan, and learn CPR.
