Firefighter Thompson was off-duty but in the right place at the right time this week when he spotted smoke coming out a building.
He alerted residents in two buildings and helped evacuate people in danger of the fire.
He's a veteran of the FDJC with 21 years on the job.
Thompson is married and is a father. Thank you for your service!
