The East Port of Spain Development Company (EPOS) has congratulated Terrance David and Deshawn Hamilton who were named as National Award recipients in recognition of their bravery and service to the community.

Hamilton, 28, and David, 43, sprang into action on September 4 when they saw an accident on the Beetham Highway and saved a man who was trapped in a burning car.

The release lauded both men noting their courage and quick action prevented the loss of life and exemplified the highest ideals of selflessness

The two joined Michael Wiggins and Akil Des Vignes in each being awarded the Hummingbird Medal (Bronze) for gallantry.
