Have you ever questioned why there are not many stories shared by heroes in fire and rescue service? Have you heard how some people have done heroic deeds to save lives or property but never read about them in a newspaper or seen them on TV or shared in social media? There are a lot of these people in the USA and we may not even know who they are. Why? The answer remains a mystery to most of the population.
