Firefighters Honored at City Hall Ceremony
The Medford Fire Department honored eleven of its own men with the Warren W. Thompson award during a City Hall ceremony on January 30, 2008. The award is named after a Medford firefighter who lost his life while fighting a fire at Tufts in 1970 and is given in recognition of acts that go above and beyond the call of duty.
The eleven firefighters who received the award were honored for their bravery during two separate incidents, one in 2005 where firefighters helped rescue an infant being held hostage at knife point by his mother, and another in 2006 where firefighters saved a woman from being car-jacked and kidnapped.
