Firefighters, along with our servicemen and servicewomen, have jobs that require physical and mental strength, determination, and discipline. And like servicemen and servicewomen, their training and sense of duty continue past employment. For them, the job is more than just a job, but a calling that can sooner or later claim their lives.
That sense of duty followed retired firefighter Tammy Bennett and led her into a burning trailer where she saved a man's life.
She was driving home that night when she saw a flash of light, then flames — then she realized that there was a figure emerging from the fire. She ran toward what she discovered to be a man on fire, whom she then told to roll on the ground to put out the flames.
The man, James Cannon, suffered burns all along his body, but he is deemed to be in fair condition.
As for Tammy, she suffered smoke inhalation, but is otherwise in good condition. She firmly believes that God put her there, in front of that trailer, to save this man's life. She says that she never stays after work so late, and there must have been a reason why she did this time.
If you're thankful for Tammy's heroic actions, please SHARE!
