Faribault's Dahlen, Guhl & Kline Recognized for Lifesaving/Heroic Act!

By Melissa Paquette

On October 12, 2023, an accident occurred at MCF-FRB during the 3rd/1st watch shift change. The weather was awful. It was raining, cold and the wind was blowing so hard it was coming down sideways. Those conditions, unfortunately, contributed to an accident on grounds in which one staff was struck by a vehicle.

Staff who were close immediately responded to the scene and provided assistance, including tending to each staff involved in the accident, directing traffic, contacting 911, etc. First Responders arrived on scene and the injured staff was transported to the hospital. Emergency contacts were attempted without luck.

Captain Dahlen stayed with the injured staff until they were discharged from the hospital and also assisted this staff in getting home. Both the injured staff as well as the driver were contacted over the next several days to let them know they were in the thoughts of all facility staff.

Thank you Sgt. Guhl, Sgt. Kline & Capt. Dahlen!
