Philip Rohl from St. Croix Gas Receives MEA Award for Helping People in Need
MEA presents Philip Rohl of St. Croix Gas with a Meritorious Service Award for assisting a person suffering from heat stroke.
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.
“MEA award recipients embody positive values and qualities that make valuable contributions to society,” said John Gann, membership and marketing sr. vice president of MEA. “Rohl’s actions are a reflection of his character and the professional development he received as an employee of St. Croix Gas.”
