    BUFFALO COUNTY, Wisconsin (WQOW) -- The Buffalo County Sheriff's Office recognized a couple's heroic actions after they saved a man from a fire.

The fire happened March 1, 2025, in the Town of Glencoe. Kevin and Leah Kubis from Cochrane were driving when they saw a home on fire. The couple went up to the home, and when they realized a person was still inside, forced their way in. They were able to wake up Michael Helgeson, who was sleeping and unaware his home was on fire.

โ€œThe actions of Kevin and Leah Kubis were nothing short of heroic,โ€ said Sheriff Mike Osmond. โ€œIn a moment of crisis, they didnโ€™t hesitate to put themselves at risk to help another.โ€

Neither the couple nor Helgeson were injured.

Monday, the sheriff's office honored the couple for their life-saving efforts.
