· Life Saver Award- On January 13th, the Tipp City Emergency Services Department responded to a patient experiencing cardiac arrest. Due to the swift and skilled actions of our staff, the patient was successfully resuscitated and transported to the hospital.

A special congratulations to Doug Trent, Mike Pawlak, Courtney Dean, Corey Hilgefort, Margaret Moran, and Heather Barth for receiving this award.
