Roseburg trooper honored for summer rescue of woman
A Roseburg Oregon State Police trooper was recognized Thursday for his July 17 rescue of a woman who'd been swept down the North Umpqua River and nearly drowned.
Fish and Wildlife Trooper Don Frerichs, an 18-year veteran with the State Police, received the Harold R. Berg Lifesaving Award from OSP Superintendent Ronald C. Ruecker, according to a State Police media release.
The award is named after a trooper who lost his life in 1975 while searching for a lost boy in a cave on the Oregon Coast.
