Rescue 911 - "Rescuers Rescued" 

Brian Cordes I get what your saying, but people now a days are really going overboard with this "doing it for the right reasons thing", and the "he's a real hero", "zero recognition", etc.etc. there are so many quotes and judgements on these people these days...All based on wether or not there actions were done truly out of love for mankind, a selfless person, etc, or they wanted fame/recognition/attention, a medal or something. The consequences of all of your actions is becoming more and more visible, and those consequences are that people are less likely to help out of fear of being ridiculed...that they are only doing it for fame etc, Your ridicule will cause people to second guess their split second reactions...so much more to this. Use your brain. The chances of someone up to no good saving someone's life, or doing something heroic just for the fame or the name is actually very slim. There was a murderer one time who did save a guys life to then turn around and murder him the next week, and guess what... he didn't want his name in the paper or anything, and it's odd to why he would save his life to begin with. There's layers upon layers of reasons behind and about everything, but when it comes to these people saving peoples lives... it takes one second to react or not and they do wether they win or lose, and that alone should tell you of their intentions and what type of people they are. Hero.

God bless that wonderful man!

Thus tescue 911 must be back it educate people even we in far far away i watch this over n over again its good n it gives hope

what a guy he deserved the credit

This story just cries out to become a movie for theatre screens directed by Francis Ford Coppola.

Yes I agree

I can't even imagine the horror of finding that. I'd be numb. But I know that even EMTs and firefighters suffer for what they see - I've listened to the interviews of firefighters who were on the call for the Station nightclub fire, and they are just nightmare-inducing. What they saw in that burning hellscape affected them for the rest of their lives.

It truly is one of the worst things I’ve heard over the radio a close friends partner putting out a distress message saying they where trapped and then rolling on it and feeling like no matter how fast we went it was likely not fast enough

It takes an extremely special person to be a first responder. Most, including myself, couldn't handle it, so thank you for all you do.

Today there would've been a well deserved GoFundMe created, but I hope he received a little something.

I don’t think that he needs anything even a reward for his actions. Think about it this way. For instance people who hid African Americans running away from slavery or helping them escape from slavery or people like Meip Gies and Oskar Schindler who during the Holocaust helped Jewish people who were being persecuted and killed by the Nazis didn’t see themselves as heroes. They did what they did as they saw Jewish people and African Americans including those that they did not know as not just Jewish people or people of African descent but as human beings and they knew that helping them was the right thing to do and they couldn’t just stand by and let them be mistreated or killed. The man who rescued those first responders helped them because he knew that they were human beings and helping them was the right thing to do and he couldn’t just stand by and let them die.

Also it is often a part of nature for people who are good and kind to attempt to help other people as we are all taught to help others when you can. An example of this is Irena Sendler who during the Holocaust helped save the lives of 2500 Jewish children and was later recognized as righteous among the nations by Yad Yashem. Irena Sendler like Meip Gies was a kind person and helped those children because she knew that they were fellow human beings and that helping them was the right thing to do and she helped them without asking for or expecting anything in return and she also never sought any credit for her role in saving their lives and she also didn’t see herself as a hero. Irena Sendler explaining her actions said if you see someone drowning you must rescue them even if you cannot swim along with also saying that she only did what any decent person would do.

You were involved in the Granitville train wreck in 2005? Wow, glad that you're okay

Edwin Broncos👍👍👍👍👍😁👍

Interesting thought.

And often times by civilians.

I remember going through life-saving courses but it wasn't through any of these it was through lifeguarding.

Thx tips, we were all oblivious to the video we were watching

Same here! I loved watching this show as it showed you what to do in an emergency!

They are people too...

Its not unusual at all. In a lot of cases, fire fighters are more injured and the end of the rescue and or trapped more than the victim

I didn't even think that diesel ambulances was common nowadays either in the US!

lynne3ann3 God bless America I hope someone has taught you this by now. it has been five years. No, to anyone who passes this comment hereafter you are suppose to not oversteer either. let your foot off the gas ease the steering wheel into the direction the car wants to go while trying to gain control. In otherwords.. No brake.. No oversteer... while you try your best to get the car under control so you can either get it off the road until better conditions, or slow down and maintain safe driving. If anyone disagrees feel free to add comments. This is the way I was taught. You should always seek counsil from your local transportation facility, or online for exact details.

When hydroplaning gently ease off the gas and you will make it through

Yeah dont slam the brakes .

Correct

Nope they would be filming it!

Mike Gallant I agree. There is good and bad in us all. It is what you choose to be. Skin color don't have anything to do with it.

Mike Gallant some yes, some no, some in-between, skin colour is irrelevant... not all of anything are just good or just bad

Why are we bringing the color of his skin into this? It goes to show you that there are still good HUMANS out there, regardless of how light or dark their skin happens to be.

Maybe, but the quality of the time seems to give it a charm for me. Still, we can all want what we want, and hopefully we can all get it.

Can you send me the link so I can sign the petition

I would like it back on TV

Nick Wells I remember watching that
