Craig Morgan Honored by Tennessee Firefighters

Craig Morgan's heroic efforts to save two children trapped in a burning home in February have led to the Army veteran being rewarded for his bravery.

Craig was honored by the Tennessee City Volunteer Fire Department on Saturday while he was backstage at the Grand Ole Opry. "I'm humbled by this kind recognition from the Tennessee City Volunteer Fire Department and the National Volunteer Fire Council," Craig says in a statement [quote via Nashville's Tennessean newspaper]. "They are the real hometown heroes."

The former Army paratrooper and emergency medical technician isn't letting his recent departure from BNA Records slow him down. He has a packed concert schedule for the spring and summer, including stops in Florida, Texas and Colorado. See his itinerary here.
