Default My son the Firefighter says....
I saw his Facebook post on the 2 fallen Bridgeport Firefighters who died yesterday said " When everyone else runs out they run in . . . they are our Bravest!!! "...........good definition of HERO's!

A hero can also be an ordinay person doing an extraordinary thing.

Years ago two men parked their car at the bank door, got out leaving it running, put on ski masks and went into the bank. A maintenance man saw this and had the presence of mind to get in the car and drive it away!

IMHO, another kind of quick thinking hero.
