Hometown Hero Andrew Prestia.

At the Penn State Game vs. Ohio at Beaver Stadium we got to hear about another Hometown Hero. Hometown Hero is a segment that Penn State does to recognize local Hometown Heroes and their contributions to the local community. 

At this game the hero was Andrew Prestia. He is the current Alpha Fire Company Rescue Captain. He's had 27 years of service as a volunteer firefighter and a combined 130 years of volunteer fire fighter service in his family.

Andrew graduated from State College high school in 1995 and has held titles of Engine Captain and Truck Captain. 

In a record breaking crowd of 111,000 fans at Beaver Stadium Andrew got to receive some recognition. We appreciate all of our Hometown Heroes and can't wait to see who gets nominated next!
