Hometown heroes
The Annual First Responders Award Luncheon celebrated by the Plymouth Noon Rotary Club honored local public safety heroes last Friday. The event has been a tradition of the club for more than two decades, taking time to recognize the efforts of those “who run toward danger while the rest of us run away.” Honored this year as the “best of the best” were, from left, Department of Municipal Services Operations Technician Evan Duffiney, introduced by Plymouth City Manager Chris Porman; City of Plymouth Firefighter EMT Sylvia Stepien introduced by Fire Chief Pat Conely; Huron Valley Ambulance Paramedic/Field Training Officer Ramsay Bialek introduced by HVA Vice President Carl Rock; Plymouth Police Department Sgt. Justin Bulmer, introduced by Police Chief Al Cox; Plymouth Township Police Department Detective Luke Drejewski introduced by Police Chief James Knittel and Plymouth Township Firefighter/Paramedic Anthony Pancoast introduced by Fire Chief Pat Conely. Each received a commemorative plaque during the ceremony attended by friends and families of the honorees.
