City of Rincon public works employee Joey Pilat was recognized by the city council at its Aug. 11 meeting for his actions in getting to safety a child who was suffering from a heat-related condition at the Freedom Rings celebration.

“He saw the signs and the symptoms, put the child in the shade and did all the appropriate techniques,” read the proclamation.
