Firefighters honored for hurricane rescues

Two Titusville firefighters are being honored with a rare award for outstanding bravery during Hurricane Ian. Lt. David Neeld and Driver Operator Billy Wiegert were not on duty, but when families were stuck in a flooded neighborhood they didn’t think twice about rushing to the rescue. They were safe at home in Brevard County, but when they heard people were in trouble, they raced to Volusia County. They thought the storm had passed but were shocked at what they saw in New Smyrna Beach.
