maybe you have saved someone from a burning building or maybe something not quite as dramatic but still heroic!

I saw a homeless person on a bench on a cold day. I went to Wawa and got them coffee and some food, and then went back and gave it to them.  I don't know if this is heroic, but it made me feel good.

Of course I would want to know who SAVED MY LIFE.  I mean ultimatley, it was in God's hands...but if I had the choice to see and thank the angel...i would.  And I would do anything I could to make sure whoever that person knew or was realted to, that they are a hero.

I was a volunteer Firefighter/ETT for awhile and my first medical response was an auto accident victim. I went to the hospital to meet the ambulance and help offload the patient and give the EMTs some support. The ambulance arrived, the rear doors opened, and I was stunned at what I saw. But the training kicked in immediately.\nWe transferred the patient to the emergency room and everyone did everything they could. There was no hope.\nI still remember giving chest compressions and looking unto the patient's brown eyes and praying "God help us help this man".\nThe doctor told me to stop compressions and I felt so helpless. It was over.\nI didn't sleep that night. I still see his eyes.\nYou won't forget what you saw. But your neighbor is gone.\nYou're okay, you're safe. Just cherish and appreciate life.

Get out with your family members and pets if at all possible.  Call 911 from a neighbors.  Lives are more important than saving a structure.

I saw an answer recently where a fireman said that it takes more guts to stand up every day for what you believe is right (moral courage) than it does for him as a fireman to enter a burning building to rescue someone (physical courage.)\n\nHe said that entering a burning building was just part of his job, his training; but to stand up for what you believe is right is to risk the disapproval of others, which he said is actually more frightening.

I absolutely LOVE my job.  I'm a 911 dispatcher.  I take calls all day (or night) long.  I save at LEAST one life per week.  There's just something about going home after a shift and knowing the kinds of things I've accomplished that make me feel terrific!  Besides that, can't beat the fact that I'm sitting here typing this out from work, as we can do anything we want when there's not an active call!

Yes- I witnessed a pedestrian get hit by a car - people just stared at me for a minute - I knew first aid so I was barking orders for someone to PLEASE call 9-1-1.  Finally someone re-focused and rad to a nearby plaza to call.  Luckily an off duty paramedic drove by and stopped to take over.  I was relieved because the man appeared to be going into shock on me and I wasn't confident that I really knew what I was doing!

I guess it would depend on whether someone was trying to break in the the house or the house was on fire.
