One of Scott’s Stories: “One day while responding to a routine emergency on an inbound A-10 Warthog, a fire occurred due to pilot error. I was the first person to get to the plane with a hand line and I quickly extinguished the fire on the left engine. I then assisted my partner in shutting down the plane and extracting the pilot from the cockpit. We treated the pilot for shock and a few minor injuries until the ambulance arrived to take him to the hospital. I was awarded my first Achievement Medal for my actions.”
