94.9 WDKB presented this weeks #HometownHero award to:

Skylar Montavon

Thanks to Tom from DeKalb and Carol from Sycamore for nominating Skylar. They said:

“Skylar is a Direct Service Provider at Opportunity House. On Thursday, June 30th a fire broke out at 1:00 am in the morning at 327 W. Alden in DeKalb. This is next door to an Opportunity House residence. Due to significant heat and fire damage to the east side of our home, the DeKalb Fire Department instructed Skylar to immediately evacuate our residents. Skylar evacuated our seven residents and kept them safe outside for two hours before the Fire Department allowed them to re-enter their home. The DeKalb Fire Department reported that Skylar did a tremendous job. Thank you Skylar and the DeKalb Fire Department!”
