At the April 6 city council meeting, Fire Chief Jeff Taufen presented 4-year-old ShyAnn Jamison, St. Joseph, with a plaque thanking her for her life-saving actions. On Feb. 24, ShyAnn was staying at Hollow Park apartments, on Cypress Street in St. Joseph with her great-grandmother. The great-grandmother, Gwynith Copner, pictured here with ShyAnn, had left the kitchen when ShyAnn noticed her dinner had started on fire. ShyAnn quickly ran to a neighboring apartment where a friend of the family lived, who used two fire extinguishers to help hold the flames down while the fire department was called. Taufen, as well as Police Chief Joel Klein, called ShyAnn a hero. Along with the plaque, ShyAnn received a backpack and a gift card to McDonald’s. ShyAnn is the daughter of Ashlee Jamison.
