Slocomb honors fire rescue crew members who saved lives during traumatic incidents
SLOCOMB, Ala. (WDHN) — The city of Slocomb honored 10 of their Firefighters for live-saving work.
In January of last year, Slocomb Fire Rescue responded to the scene of an attempted murder in the Fadette community.
They were there providing aid to the victim who had been stabbed multiple times, putting their life at risk.
The responding members made the quick decision to proceed into an unsecured scene to stabilize the victim. They later transferred the victim to a nearby trauma center for live saving surgery.
That patient survived and recovered since the incident.
Slocomb Fire Rescue honored four members for their efforts, each given the Life Saving Award:
Captain Theo Gordon
Firefighter Hunter Morgan
Firefighter Alayna Morgan
Operations Chief Brandon Hovey
Slocomb also thanked a good samaritan who stepped in to help
In July of 2024, fire crews helped people involved in the multi-vehicle crash near Hartford.
Units from the SFR were on the scene of another crash about three miles away but immediately responded to the scene near Hartford where several people were critically injured, and some were trapped inside a vehicle.
First responders conducted an extensive extrication operation, triaged patients, and provided intensive patient care.
Captain Gordon and firefighter Josiah Foster were recognized for their knowledge in vehicle rescue/extrication, in coordination with other responding agencies, to successfully free a trapped patient.
Firefighter/Paramedic Quentin Helms, Firefighter TJ Doran, Firefighter Chase Hovey, and Fire Explorer Paxton Hartzog were recognized for performing triage, patient care, and scene management under extreme pressure.
Operations Chief Brandon Hovey and Assistant Chief Tim Carnes found a pediatric patient in traumatic respiratory arrest.
Chief Hovey and Chief Carnes successfully resuscitated and stabilized the patient until she was flown to a trauma center where she underwent multiple surgeries and has since made a full recovery.

What's Cooking: Lemon Garlic Butter Chicken
What's Cooking: Lemon Garlic Butter Chicken (with Creamy Parmesan Pasta) Recipe by: Chef Lisa A. Heidelberg Time: 20-25 minutes Serves: 4 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces Zest and juice of 1 lemon ½ tsp Italian seasoning 1 tsp house seasoning ½ tsp kosher salt ½ tsp paprika 3T unsalted butter, divided 3 minced garlic cloves 8 oz linguine or fettuccine 2T butter 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese ½ cup heavy cream ½ tsp house blend Chopped parsley, for garnishing Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta until al dente. Once done, drain and set aside. In a mixing bowl, toss the chicken pieces with lemon zest, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt and pepper until well-coated. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and sauté for about 5–6 minutes, or until the pieces are golden and cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1–2 minutes until it's aromatic but not browned. Stir in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Season with garlic powder, salt and pepper, and let the sauce bubble for a few minutes until it begins to thicken. Add the Parmesan cheese to the sauce and stir continuously until it melts into a creamy blend. Add the cooked linguine into the skillet and gently toss it in the sauce until every strand is coated. Return the cooked chicken to the pan and stir to combine everything. Finish with parsley. Enjoy! Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
