Amidst the hustle and bustle of Highway 247 in Warner Robins on October 30, 2023, an act of raw courage unfolded, revealing the heroism of an everyday individual. Shaun Pieter, a committed truck driver affiliated with Frezzit Cold Transport and an owner-operator for Reddy Ice, was amidst his routine delivery when he encountered a chilling scene.

A recent accident had left chaos in its wake, and shockingly, Shaun observed several people hurriedly leaving the accident site, abandoning the incapacitated car driver.

The danger escalated as smoke started to emanate from a small fire in the engine of the damaged vehicle. With no time to waste, Shaun, driven by instinct and empathy, promptly reached for the in-cab fire extinguisher from his truck. Demonstrating remarkable courage and presence of mind, he managed to subdue the flames, ensuring the scene remained manageable until firefighters and law enforcement arrived.

Such life-threatening situations underscore the paramount importance of safety gear, such as functional fire extinguishers, not just in our trucks but also within our residences. These often-neglected tools might very well stand between calamity and safety.

In the aftermath of the incident, Shaun remains humble. He does not see himself as a hero, simply stating that he did what he felt was right. But to the driver he saved, and to all of us inspired by his story, Shaun is nothing short of heroic.

Fred Rogers once eloquently remarked, "Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping." Shaun epitomizes this sentiment. He emerged as a beacon of hope, a compassionate soul who leaped into action when adversity struck.

We, at LMB Distributors, LLC and Frezzit Cold Transport, stand in awe of Shaun's selfless deed and swift action.

His valor deserves recognition and applause. Those wishing to express their appreciation to Shaun can forward their gifts and sentiments just contact us. Your words will stand testament to the fact that Shaun's act of bravery in safeguarding another human life will resonate and be cherished for ages to come.
