BILLINGS â While in Billings Wednesday, Gov. Greg Gianforte presented the Spirit of Montana Award to the Billings Fire Department s Technical Rescue Team for its work saving the life of a man trapped in a silo at Western Sugar Cooperative in Billings in May.
âItâs an honor to get this award. Itâs a very big time achievement award that we accept as an entire team, because it was an entire team effort. There is no single person that we can just call out, it was a great team effort by all, said Chris Voller, an engineer who was the first to make contact with the man.
