Award Recipients
Valor: 2022 Winner
Private Adrian Davis, Memphis Fire Department
On September 25, 2021, Private Adrian Davis and his colleagues responded to a motor vehicle crash on I-240 at Union Ave and saw first-hand just how frightening & dangerous a situation can become. The team approached the incident to investigate and found a vehicle with heavy damage and fire. Two of the crashed vehicle occupants had already gotten out of the car and were wandering aimlessly on the highway, in a daze. The team immediately jumped into action. Private Adrian’s partner, Paramedic Stephen Atkins, extinguished a fire in the vehicle’s engine compartment. Private Davis retrieved the driver and passenger who were walking disoriented in the traffic lanes. As Davis ushered the victims over a concrete barrier to safety, another vehicle struck the initial car wreck and hit Private Davis, pinning his leg and causing a fracture. This team’s vigilance and quick reaction undoubtedly saved the lives of two citizens. Adrian Davis is here tonight with his girlfriend, Kenyata West, and his sisters Ayanna & Erica.
