Monday one of our crews went above and beyond and we want to take a moment to thank them for their efforts.

While demolishing a deck in Kildeer, David and Adam noticed an elderly neighbor struggle and fall into their backyard pond.

Their quick actions to go help and call 911 may have saved this man's life.

The chief of the Kildeer Police even called to give them a special thank you for their efforts.

Thank you again David and Adam!
