SUBJECT: Recognition of Sadie Cordes for Her Life-Saving
Actions on October 14, 200
On Sunday, October 14, 200, Sadie Cordes was watching television in the lower
level of her home. Alerted by an activated smoke detector sounding upstairs,
Sadie went to investigate. Meeting her step-father, Steve Johnson, they
proceeded to the upper level of their home.
Upon finding smoke in the upper level, Steve placed a 9i1 call. Knowing her 16-
month old brother, Max, was in his crib, Sadie went to rescue Max from his crib
and got him safely outside prior to emergency crews arriving.
Coincidentally, the 200 fire prevention campaign was "Plan Your Escape."
Included in this theme was to plan an escape for people you live with who may
have mobility issues.
Tonight, we would like to honor Sadie for her life-saving efforts.
