Safety officers

Yesterday, the Eagan Rotary Club held its 25th annual safety officer recognition lunch meeting. Fire Chief Hugo Searle introduced award recipient Firefighter Paul Burgett and told about one of his life saving rescues. Police Chief Roger New presented Officer Sean Farnham with his award and shared a heroic story performed by Sean. Congratulations to both officers and thank you for your service.
