Four men who took a former military truck into flooded areas on the peninsula received commendations this week from the Foley City Council and Baldwin County Emergency Management Agency.

On Sept. 11, 2008, Assistant Chief Randy Bishop, Lt. Charles Massey, Officer Jeff Rast of the Police Department and Firefighter Reid Cole took the city's 'high-water rescue vehicle' into flooded areas on Fort Morgan Road to help people escape after the roads were blocked, according to Chief David Wilson."
