Jessica Gervais

Tuesday November 8-16
When a crisis strikes, members of the community often arrive on scene before first responders get the call. That was the case on May 18, 2015. Jessica Gervais, John Gorman and Jim Mascioli were awarded a Civilian Award for their outstanding efforts as first on scene to a car accident on Shirley Street near Sandy Falls Road. Once they arrived, the three individuals were required to subdue a young man who had begun stabbing his 17-year-old female passenger and then care for her injuries until first responders arrived.
