In 2006, I was driving to school with my mom, when the car in front of us , slammed its breaks and hit another high school student.A student who was on his bike.We were able to doge this accident luckily, but both the driver and student was not moving.

I called 9-1-1 and begged for help.All I could hear was screams from the boy on the ground.

The responders arrived on scene no longer than 5 minutes.Not only did the they help the victims, but the officers checked on my mom and I and asked if we were alright and needed help.I broke down in tears because this event was traumatizing and I remember the officer holding me back, and comforting me.

These men and women are great! and I cry every time I hear this song.

Name of Hero: Station 58 A Shift Palm Beach County Fire Rescue

Hero City: Boca Raton, Florida

Submitted by: Linda Melesky

Engine 58 received an unknown medical call to a Boca Raton home where upon arrival the Captain stopped his two subordinates, on intuition, and had them put their masks on. It was a Good Call on his part, for inside they located the bodies of two children in the home, they searched frantically for a third, who was later found not to be in the home. The Mother of one of the victims was found unconscious, as well as the family dog, they were revived. But Thanks to the Captain & his years of knowledge & intuition, there were not more fatalities due to the Vehicle that was left running from the night before in the garage of this home. The Carbon Monoxide levels in the home would have overtaken them within minutes of walking in the door.
He put his subordinates in for awards which they received. All Three of these men are just a few examples of our Everyday Heroes in my eyes.

THIS TIMES IT WAS A SILENT KILLER THAT NO ONE SMELLS, SEES, OR TASTES COMING.

This story will not bring back the ones lost, but hopefully will later serve to save more lives.
