City of Huntsville Proclaims “Manny & Mabel Day” in Honor of Life-Saving Emergency Response
During the March 9th City Council meeting, Mayor Travis Dotson issued a heartfelt proclamation recognizing the heroic actions of first responders and community members who saved a two-year-old child’s life during a medical emergency on February 25, 2026.
The proclamation honors:
- Samantha Freeman, Huntsville Volunteer Firefighter
- Officer Emmanuel “Manny” Manjarrez, Huntsville Police Department
- Madison County EMS Personnel
- Madison County Dispatchers
- Tyler, Logan, & Mabel Foell
Their swift, skillful, and compassionate response ensured the child received critical care and began breathing again—an outcome made possible by their teamwork and dedication.
In recognition of this extraordinary event, the City has officially designated February 25th as “Manny & Mabel Day”, celebrating both the strength of the Foell family and the unwavering commitment of our emergency personnel.
This day will forever serve as a reminder of the courage, compassion, and community spirit that define Huntsville.
