Members Applaud Fellow Member in Act of Heroism
By Firefighter Mike Harris
April 22, 2013
His name was being kept quiet, but now the members of the department would like to thank Firefighter Billy Gossett in his recent local act of heroism. Last week as he was driving through the neighboring town of Katonah, Gossett noticed some peculiar activity and stopped to do something about it. As can be read in the following local publications, Gossett got himself involved in an abduction of a woman, helping to fight off the abductor and keep the woman safe, along with the assistance of another man.
Local authorities are calling Gossett a hero, helping to possibly save this woman's life, certainly being responsible for her safety and well being. The department is very proud of their brother firefighter, and happy to have Gossett as another selfless member of the South Salem Fire Department that acted in a time of need, when needed most. Well done Billy, and thank you.
