A Family Hero

Hero City: Small Town in Arkansas

Submitted by: Rusty

A small town Volunteer Fire Dept with only 12 people. I’m watching out my bedroom window waiting for my uncle to come in from a fishing trip from Missouri. My fire radio starts sounding. Our Firefighters got a call to go out to a 1 MVA (Motor Vehicle Accident) I hope in my truck and head to the scene. I look in the bottom of the ravine. There was my uncle car. Me and other firefighters looked the situation over he was trapped. We got the jaws from our rescue vehicle and we cut the door open and got him out. While we was pulling him back to the highway I heard my fire chiefs wife over the radio telling dispatch we got the patient out of the car. I dont know bout you guys but that really made me feel like a hero.
