PIQUA -- A Piqua firefighter was honored today for saving a comrade's life.
Eric Wood received the "Award for Heroism," an award given to those who risk their lives to save another.
Wood did just that back in January of 2011 after a fellow firefighter fell through a trap door inside a burning house.
"The fire was dripping below us and I would have fell head first into the fire. He absolutely saved my life and I'm very appreciative of that," recalls Jim Drieling.
Thanks to Wood, the other firefighter completed several months of rehab and is now back on the job.
