The comments I have read for the most part seem a little over the top. People in law enforcement and EMS or firefighters are not in it for the thank you. If that were the case, there would be no one to do those jobs. Seems like people think complaining is going to change things. Maybe doing it the right way might, but what did your complaints on here today accomplish? Seems like everyone in the world has forgotten how to get along, be happy for others, and if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all. I, for one, am tired of living in this world that has become a free for all. I just am glad the deputy was saved and is ok. Death of a loved one is a horrible, traumatic thing. So, thank you to whomever acted on this incident. I know your selfless act was recognized where it really counts.

It is sad that the only one’s awarded were the one’s that pulled the deputy out, what about the people that helped the family that got injures due to the deputy running the stop sign. If you are going to award for deputy being pulled out then award for the family too. Also make sure you award the right people. I also believe all the Beulah Fire Department should be awarded for their efforts and FAST response to scene! This infuriates me.

We,first responders, don’t expect thank you’s and awards for doing our jobs. We didn’t,or I didn’t , get into this business to make money, get praise or awards. Infact, I am often hit, spit on, yelled at and abused by those I run on. I went to school for 2 yrs so that I could help those in the community that need medical treatment. As a single mother I also work 2 jobs to support my children so that I can help those who need me.

This past week was EMS week and as a thank you several businesses brought in food for us and our company even paid for the crews to go to the Bay Bears game today.

I ran on a child who had a cockroach in her ear a couple of yrs back. When I arrived on scene to help the teenager she was screaming and very stressed out. I was able to calm her down and transport her to the hospital to have it removed. Right before I left I went back into her room to tell her I hoped she felt better soon. Before I walked out the young girl offered me some skittles to “help me through the rest of my shift.” That is why I became a paramedic. Not for the thank you or the awards.

We live right on the corner of Mobile Hwy and Beulah road, and know for a fact that our neighbor and his son were the first on scene and got that deputy out of that burning vehicle. I remember seeing this Craig Morado on scene, but he was not there when they pulled him out of the truck. I remember the officers asking my neighbor how he got that big man out of the truck because he had to go to the passenger side of the vehicle to get him out after he busted the window out. There were a lot of people on scene that live in the area that night, but give credit where credit is due. Everybody there did their best to help and Beulah fire department did a great job that night too!

@ Pam….
Not to take anything away from these two gentlemen who saved the deputy and helped those others who were injured…
You are Right On as Firefighters are often the very first on scene.
They helped save the life of a friend who had a medical emergency.
Best ‘Award’ we could give was Thanks and Prayers for their continued safety.

That officer that was awarded was NOT there at the scene. No cop was there until after my dad and brother pulled him out of the car. They took my dads contact info and they HAVNT even contacted him for anything… A thank you letter.. And award.. or anything which is fine my dads not that worried about it.. We will let them take the credit nbd. But I agree with a lot of y’all the fire department, etc they Were there and helped but y’all let’s not forget the ones who lives right there and were the first ones there (my family) to help them. If it wasn’t for us listening ears that cop would have burned to death.

Thank you Mr. Morado and Deputy Guy for your heroic actions. You both deserve credit for your selfless deed.

@ Notrophiesforeveryone the EMS get paid for doing this- and this guy did not—however even not on the clock- the EMS if would have been there would have done the same….you seem to have issues with people saving people guy
If it was you in that SUV …you would not have been so angry to be jealous of someone being saved
Give others a little credit and stop throwing fuel on a fire…it could have been you!
Praying for you guy

Pam… These guys were on scene when the incident happened. If not for them the deputy would have either died or had extensive burns. While firefighters do save lives occasionally, they didn’t on this occasion.

Should we give EMS an award everytime they transport?
