The Cy-Fair Houston Chamber of Commerce recognizes firefighters, Captain Gregory Bertsch, Lt. Michael Kudrick, Jason Lore, Captain Joseph Steinhauer, Lt. Kyle Goble, and Michael Amador, for their exceptional service and life-saving efforts at the monthly luncheon at the Berry Center Tuesday, April 20th in Cypress.

On January 20, 2021, Cy-Fair FD crews responded to a 1-alarm residential fire in the Villages Of Bear Creek Subdivision in Katy after multiple 9-1-1 calls were received. Upon arrival, the fire crews reported heavy fire and smoke through the roof of the home and were advised that there were two occupants still inside the residence.

Ladder 13’s and Engine 8’s crews searched the area where the occupants were believed to have been located and found the first patient in the restroom doorway. Together they carried the patient to the front door and transferred him to the EMS crews standing by. Fire crews returned into the burning structure to continue their search of the home. Fire crews located the second patient in the same restroom and rescued the patient from harm.

Both patients were found in cardiac arrest. Medics and Firefighters performed CPR and ultimately revived both patients before transporting them to hospitals.

We appreciate the opportunity to highlight the exceptional care and hard work our crews provide to the Cy-Fair community every day.
