I would like to think all First Responders are considered heroes. First responders include EMTs, paramedics, police officers, and last but not least, fire fighters. By definition, a hero is a person, typically a man, who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities. I am lucky enough to call one of those heroes a brother.

Evan is a hero not only for inspiring me or saving lives, but also being a big brother and pushing me every day of my life without even
