An organization dedicated to providing assistance to families of fallen heroes presented lifesaving and valor awards to LBI first responders at a recent ceremony.

Receiving lifesaving awards from the 200 Club of Ocean County, one of many such clubs throughout the state, were Barnegat Light firefighters Hugh Shields, Lee Major and Andrew Baxter and Harvey Cedars Police Sgt. Steve Frazee. Barnegat Light firefighter/EMT Bob Selfridge was presented with a valor award.

The Barnegat Light contingent were all involved in a rescue effort involving a capsized boat last August.
