Hopewell Valley Emergency Services firefighters Rob Bailey and Matt Peck received the 2016 Award of Valor at the 200 Club of Mercer County’s Annual Luncheon today.
Bailey and Peck responded to a house fire in Hopewell Borough and, while searching the burning building, located an unconscious victim on the second floor. They were able to rescue the victim and, due to their quick action, the victim has made a complete recovery.
