Story by Sgt. 1st Class Rebecca Wood June 26, 2023 at 01:29PM The BGAD Director of Emergency Services, Erin Weaver, said he is proud of O’Brien and that his actions in this incident were nothing short of heroic. “That natural gas leak was an obvious dangerous event, and O’Brien, without hesitation, put his life on the line by running of post, towards the danger, to get that man out of the wrecked truck,” said Weaver. “Honestly, that wasn’t in his job description as a security guard. We teach our security guards to think of their own safety in situations, and he would have been in the right to call the fire department and stay a safe distance from the wreck until emergency responders arrived. He did a remarkable act of bravery, heroism, and gallantry at great personal risk to himself. I am proud of him and honored to work with him here at BGAD.”
