He rushed in kicking down every door in his way and searching the whole house. After constant searching himself and several others dragged out someone. After the incident his gear was burned beyond the glass fiber fabric and down to the woolen fabric. My uncle has no regrets in his words he would rather save someone and risk his own life that stand there and do nothing but watch someone die. He knows the risks but yet he returns...he returns to serve and protect .This is the person i strive to become in the future.
