Harris Presented with BFCA Truck Hero Award

(Akron/Tire Review) Bridgestone/Firestone Canada Inc. (BFCA) has presented this year’s Bridgestone/Firestone Canadian Truck Hero Award to Kevin Harris, a truck driver in Kamloops, British Columbia.

Harris “fought off flames and defied danger so that he could provide comfort to a dying fellow driver he had met only 10 minutes earlier,” said the manufacturer. He received a $3,000 check and trophy today at the Ontario Trucking Association’s annual meeting. BFCA is also donating a matching amount in Harris’ name to a memorial trust fund.
