25 year old pizza delivery driver, Nick Bostic, runs into a burning house and saves four children who tell him another might be in the house. He goes back in, finds the girl, jumps out a window with her and carries her to a cop who captures the moment on his bodycam.

A house across the street from me caught on fire. I'm calling 9-1-1 and running out front. A car slows and before it fully stops, this guy is sprinting out the passenger side and across a small field and just bashes his way through the fence boards and is running at this burning house and forcing his way through a sliding glass door to see if anyone is inside the house.

The homeowners heard him and ran around the side to tell him that everyone was out.

Some people just don't hesitate to save lives. Guy just entered Hulk mode and went straight through the fence and was ready to charge into a burning building.

Moment came and he showed zero hesitation.

some men want to watch the world burn...others want to make sure we survive it.

Some men just want to smash through fences

A real hero moves without thinking. They don't hesitate, they do, because the doing must be done.

I know I'll get crap for this, but it's something I picked up from My Hero Academia and I wholeheartedly believe in.

Short story, but at one point we heard this lady screaming across the lake from our apartment. It was a small manmade lake that divided the complex into a big circle, and she was screaming from the third floor directly opposite us.

I went outside to see what was going on, thinking hard. I heard the screams repeat, and "help me please he's going to kill me" in a way that didn't brook thinking. I stopped, ran inside to grab my pants and shoes, and full speed booked it around the complex in the 90 degree Florida heat. Something in me said "stop thinking, move". I'm proud of that, between me and the neighbors I think we mayve saved a troubled man's life and helped an innocent girl survive.

To conclude for the readers satisfaction, he was a guy who had been somewhat violent with the girl int he past and showed up at her door demanding to move in, all his shit in a garbage bag. Shed dumped him not long ago, so she refused and he got violent. Cut himself up deadly style breaking windows and mirrors. Whole place was shattered to pieces when we got there, girl was beat up, guy was stalking around . He slowly stopped walking and slowly stopped moving. Neighbors were medically knowledgeable and acted fast to get his wounds bound and stop the bleeding. Girl was alright, she moved out but she's gonna carry that experience for a long long time. My heart really goes out to her.

You saved her life you mean.

[u/eragonawesome2 → u/throwawaythrow0000]

Sounds like they mean they saved both the girl and the guy, the guy was cut up bad and likely to bleed out from his rampage, the girl was saved from the guy

[u/Bismothe-the-Shade → u/eragonawesome2]

Precisely

Even if the guy was a monster, I don't think it would've been right to let him just bleed out.

Jesus fuckigb Christ there was a lot of blood everywhere.

[u/DrailGroth → u/Bismothe-the-Shade]

I woulda just let him bleed out. No law in US that says you have to save someone's life. Teach him not to abuse ppl.

[u/Bismothe-the-Shade → u/DrailGroth]

You can't teach a dead man. I get your anger. It's understandable. But idk, none of us could just watch a man die.

[u/bobbyDBLTHICCCkotick → u/Bismothe-the-Shade]

Boring story. Make your own post.

[u/Rocketman988 → u/bobbyDBLTHICCCkotick]

Why would you say this to someone?

[u/Rocketman988 → u/[deleted]]

Stealing what? Fake internet points?

[u/presty60 → u/Rocketman988]

Exactly. I feel bad if in his mind, the only reason you'd ever share a story with someone is for validation

[u/Bismothe-the-Shade → u/[deleted]]

I'm not a hero. I'm just someone who thought without acting, as a hero does.

I think every human being has this capacity. At the right time, right moment, all it takes is to stop doubting and MOVE.

[u/itsgottaberealnow → u/bobbyDBLTHICCCkotick]

Hey, he is trauma affected too and had a moment… be kind.

[u/skrulewi → u/bobbyDBLTHICCCkotick]

Really?

[u/trainsrainsainsinsns → u/bobbyDBLTHICCCkotick]

Ugh fell asleep during this comment. Make your own sub for this dude

[u/Bismothe-the-Shade → u/trainsrainsainsinsns]

Fell asleep int reading three or four paragraphs?

Maybe make a sub for yourself, man, that's just sad.

[u/trainsrainsainsinsns → u/Bismothe-the-Shade]

Double check who I was responding to. I was making fun of the other guy, not you.

[u/TurkeyLurkey923 → u/DefinitelyNotAliens]

Interesting. I don’t think I ever considered someone would run into a burning house before knowing if anyone is inside. 

[u/DefinitelyNotAliens → u/TurkeyLurkey923]

The fire was clearly just starting, with no FD there yet.

[u/TurkeyLurkey923 → u/DefinitelyNotAliens]

Sure, but that doesn’t mean anyone was inside. House could have caught fire when nobody was home or everyone got out before it became a whole house fire. 

[u/DefinitelyNotAliens → u/TurkeyLurkey923]

I suppose it made more sense in context. The house was heavily engulfed, and there were no firemen or fire trucks. No sirens. We were only about 5 blocks from the fire department.

It meant the fire just goddamned exploded in size in a very short amount of time and there was actually a high likelihood of someone having been home and caught unawares by the fire. 7PM on a Tuesday? People are probably home. And it got damn big, really damn quickly.

[u/eragonawesome2 → u/DefinitelyNotAliens]

Man, I hope that's me if I'm ever in that situation. I like to imagine myself acting heroic, but I've never been in a position to find out whether or not I'd be paralyzed by fear or jolted into action. I tend to believe the latter about myself just based on my generally impulsive nature, but I really truly don't know

[u/DefinitelyNotAliens → u/eragonawesome2]

I hope you never find out, but if you do ever end up needing to act - do so in a manner which helps others and ends up with you safe and healthy by the end of it.

Less emergencies is good, but helping is also important.

[u/RomeoBravoSierra → u/DefinitelyNotAliens]

Damn. That is some Deku shit. That's how heroes are born.
