Publisher s note:
On Tuesday, Feb. 23, the Paint Creek Joint EMS/Fire District’s Rainsboro station was called to Rocky Fork Lake for two teens who had fallen through the ice and were in immediate peril. During the initial phase of the rescue, an Ohio Division of Natural Resources Officer, Jason Lagore, suffered a medical emergency at the scene and passed away after his response to rescue the victims. Highland County almost lost another law enforcement officer that same evening. This is Sgt. Mike Gaines story. It speaks volumes for everyone who has put on the uniform and placed his or her life on the line in the name of honorable dedication and service in the name of law enforcement. May God bless these true public servants. Thank you for your service.
