MAHOPAC — As he climbed a ladder in the middle of the night in the pouring rain to help an elderly couple out of their burning home, fire Lt. William J. Bahr said he never gave a second thought to what he should do.

Awesome job, guys! Very impressed with the modesty despite such a heroic action!

Way to go Billy and chief Lena. On a side note besides this award at the hvvfa convention they also got recognition from fasny and the putnam county fireman's association.

Strong work gentlemen, you make us all extremely proud of you and our profession. Your modesty is overwhelming and humbling.

I have had great pleasure in knowing both Chief Lena for over 10 years and Capt. Bahr since middle school. I am in no way shape or form surprised with how modest they are, with that said these two guys are top notch firemen as well as the rest of the station 2 crew that was first due that day. Congrats brothers
