At 2:33 a.m. Dec. 19, 2011, firefighters went to Meadow Creek Condos to extinguish a heavy fire on the first floor. When they arrived, they found that two residents had already jumped in to help.

For their actions, Hopkins awarded them with the city’s Life Safety Award on Tuesday. “They had moved tables over, patio tables, chairs, whatever they could get to, to help rescue occupants of this burning building at 810 Old Settlers Trail,” Fire Chief Dale Specken said.   Follow us on Twitter | Like us on Facebook | Sign up for our free daily newsletter | Check out Patch’…
