Rick in a word...
Rick is a Hometown Hero because...
On the morning of April 21st, Captain Mueller and his crew were the first to arrive at the scene of a house fire. Despite intense heat and zero-visibility on the first floor, Captain Mueller disregarded his personal safety upon learning of a missing child. Without the protection of a fire hose to control the fire, he forced his way into the house and rescued a 3-year-old child.
Less than four months later, Captain Mueller found himself in a similar scene. Shortly after his work shift began, he arrived in front of another burning duplex. Distraught neighbors immediately informed him that numerous people were still inside. Relying on experience and sheer determination, Captain Mueller raced into the home where he located and rescued two people.
