Firefighter of the Year says expect the unexpected

Firefighters are known for their job description – fighting fire. But firefighting is much more than that one element. Just ask Kyle Gasaway. Gasaway, who has been a firefighter for a decade, recently won Derby Fire Department’s Firefighter of the Year award. One of the reasons he won that award was because of his work during a water rescue call last year. At the time, Gasaway was off duty and was helping out Mulvane’s volunteer fire team. Torrential rain had flooded the area, and a woman stuck in her car got swept off the road.
