Dexter Fire Chief Don Seymore honored Crystal Bracken with the Fire Chief's Signature Coin.

Seymore awarded the win for her actions following a piece of equipment fire at BA Promotions recently.

"Her quick reaction and utilizing a fire extinguisher was excellent," stated Seymore.  "Her actions saved the building from significant damage and possibly saved the business."

Seymore further said had everyone left the building and waited on the fire department the fire would have spread by 16 percent per minute. Because of Bracken's actions the building suffered no damage and the business only lost the piece of equipment. Seymore said this is the first such coin he has awarded since 2012.

The coin bears the same wording as the Dexter fire trucks, Honor, Integrity, Pride and Strength. On the opposite side it says Dexter Fire Department.
