An elementary student smiles while holding a medal with his dad and two firefighters.

In a room filled with firefighters, elected officials and dozens of supporters last week, Stevens 2nd grader Londyn received a standing ovation as he accepted Spokane Fire Department’s Citizen Community Lifesaving Award for helping save his unconscious father’s life by calling 911 earlier this year.

“It’s s been my experience over the past 30 years that when people face adversity, emergencies, they don’t formulate a plan,” shared firefighter Kasey Austin as he presented Londyn the award, his father Steve at his side. “This young man formulated a plan, and then he did what most people really don’t do – he set that plan in motion.”

We are proud to celebrate Londyn for this recognition of his heroic efforts!
