I feel such saddness ! If it isn't enough that we risk our lives in doing our job as firefighters, we always are the one's to do the charity thing beyond our call of duty, and to lose your life in helping others in such an event, how tragic. They often call us hero's and for most of us we always say " I'm not a hero, it's my job" but for this reasoning, the man died a hero. God bless to his family! another angel watches over us. Amen.
