Cedar Falls Public Safety Lieutenant John Zolendek and Public Safety Officer Chris Copp, as well as Black Hawk County Deputies Joe Schmidt and Nick Smith, were honored at the MercyOne Heroes Among Us ceremony for their courageous actions during the house fire at Slap Tail Trail in November 2019.
Their quick and decisive response at the scene resulted in the saving of the life of a profoundly handicapped individual. We thank them for their selfless service to our community and their commitment to our citizens.
