Game Warden Receives Rescue Award

Fisher County Game Warden Justin Valchar received an award from the Texas Department of Public Safety this week at DPS headquarters in Austin. The award is associated with a rescue during recent flood conditions in which Warden Valchar entered running water to rescue someone from the top of a vehicle.

Warden Valchar wore a Personal Flotation Device (PFD) and took another PFD to the stranded person. Warden Valchar worked with a DPS officer who was handling a line tied to Valchar during the rescue
