These firefighters went INTO the building... a building on fire... a building that everyone inside was desperate to leave. They went IN. And rescued those inside. They were outside. And they went back in to make sure everyone else was out.
And then the roof collapsed.
Heroes walk amongst us, and so often, we never know their names until they're just a picture.
I urge you all... learn the name of a hero... before they become a picture. We all know Paris Hilton's name... Britney, Insert Favorite Sport Star Here, etc... Learn the name of a hero in your community... they're walking right amongst us, silently, no attention, no press... but they're there.

This made news headlines here in Australia today also, so sad....it was in the news along with our big freeze, one of our coldest winter days on record for June over most of Australia.
