energy Association (MEA) is honored to present Philip Rohl, journeyman gas technician, with a Meritorious Service Award for going above and beyond in assisting a person in need. Rohl was nominated by Martha Piepgras, vice president of St. Croix Gas.
Rohl was doing field work in Prescott, WI on a hot summer day when he drove to the gas station for water. While pulling out of the gas station, Rohl noticed a woman on the side of the road with her hand up. Rohl remembers that to some it might have appeared as though the woman was waving. Rohl took a closer look and saw the woman mouth“HELP”, so he immediately pulled over and stopped the vehicle.
As it turns out, the woman was out for a walk and began suffering from heat stroke. She told Rohl her symptoms and explained that her hand was up trying to flag down help, but that drivers weren't stopping. Rohl gave her a ride to her home and made sure she made it inside safely.
