A Rochester police officer has received one of the highest civilian awards for saving four small children from a burning minivan.
Christine Wilson was off-duty when she witnessed the accident on November 23rd, 2013.
She helped four children to safety before the van was engulfed in flames.
"I was at the right place at the right time, so I'm just grateful I'm here to tell the story in a positive manner, as well."
Wilson says she feels she did what any normal person would've done in that situation.
The award dates back over 100 years, when Andrew Carnegie established a commission to recognize acts of civilian heroism in 1904 after a coal mine disaster.
According to the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission, the Carnegie Medal is a bronze medallion three inches in diameter and is awarded to civilians who risk their lives to an extraordinary degree saving or attempting to save the lives of others.
The Carnegie Medal has been awarded for 104 years, with over 97-hundred recipients to date.
