TVCC Vice President of Student Services Dr. Jay Kinzer was honored by the Athens Fire Department for heroism during The Athens city Council meeting Monday, May 22. Athens Fire Chief John McQueary presented Kinzer with the department's Lifesaving Award for his actions during a house fire on April 22. During the fire, which destroyed a neighboring house on College Street and resulted in the death of 76-year old Arthur Jones, Kinzer used a ladder to try to reach the second floor to save Jones, braving smoke and flames in the process.
