The Wapakoneta VFW Firefighter and Police Officer of Year awards went to Chris Hefner and Kevin Prenger, respectively.
A small get together was held at the Wapakoneta Police Department on Thursday afternoon. VFW 8445 Post Commander Delmar Merricle handed out the awards.
“It's awesome,” Hefner said. “It's an honor that all the guys at the firehouse voted me, one of the younger guys. It's definitely some encouragement.”
“It's an honor, just to be respected by chief that much and the rest of my peers as well,” Prenger said. “It is just an honor. We all enjoy what we do.”
