SukritiSays the owner of Ford Motor Company, Henry Ford, to do more for the world than the world does for you that is success. And who proves his words? Who are these people who work for the sake of goodness and humanity? What do they look like? Well, our real world’s heroes are the police officers, soldiers, and firefighters. Although not all of them do their job with seriousness, those who do help in making this planet a better place every day. Yes, definitely one’s job title isn’t enough to judge them but these specific jobs come with a responsibility that people look up to them as saviors.
So, the reason why we are talking about saviors is our today’s story; the amazing story of a firefighter. The guy who just with his one emotional decision not only saved but changed many lives.
Devoted Firefighter
Marc Hadden, a young family man worked as a firefighter in Myrtle Beach, North Carolina. A person who loves his job stands out of the queue of ordinary people and so does Marc. He loved the fact that every day his work gave him wonderful opportunities for saving people’s lives and making this world a better place in a small way. Everyday Marc has to deal with different people and tackle the situations accordingly. He always puts in more efforts than required in his job. Out of all the odd circumstances that he always stays prepared for, what happened on his shift was out of his imagination.
A Family Man
Every day when Marc gets off from the office, he’s always eager to meet his beautiful wife Beth Hadden, an instructional coach in an elementary school, two sons Will and Parker who complete the Hadden family. Beth and the kids have always been supportive of this man’s risky job and untimely calls from work. Marc is an amazing husband and loving father doing a dignified job. One emergency call changed their lives in a magical way.
Regular Days
Mostly the firefighters stay back in their center and wait in case anyone needs their help. If everything around the fire brigade center is quiet and smoothly going then they don’t have much to worry about. That’s how their every other day goes. However, someday becomes more than hectic for any ordinary human to bear. As Caroline Paul, an American writer and speaker said the righteous thing, Most people go to the office and sit at a desk. When firefighters go to the office, we might birth a baby in the morning, save a drowning surfer in the afternoon, and run into a fire at night. What could be more interesting than that?
November 14, 2011, was not like the regular days as a sequence of shocking events were waiting for Marc Hadden, the firefighter.
Just Another Day
On November 14, 2011, Marc and his teammates were almost assuming it to be a day without any action. However, the moment all of them sat to have their lunch they received an emergency call. This was going to be the greatest thing Marc has ever done in his life for others and for his family. “It was just a somewhat normal call,” said Marc in an interview. At least that’s what he thought at first, he added, “very quickly we realized that it was going to be a life changer for us.”
Call Of Duty
The woman on the other side was suffering from serious abdomen pain. As a firefighter, Marc is trained to help people in any circumstances. He could never transfer a call to another emergency department in an emergency situation like this. Also, the fire brigade is generally called on the spot with an ambulance in cases of medical emergency. Without wasting any more time he took the address and hurried towards the location.
No Time To Waste
Marc reached the location as soon as possible. The moment he saw the lady who called him, Marc understood the trouble. The woman was pregnant and the abdominal pain that she was going through was due to the contractions as she was in labor pain. She was close to giving birth. Although, the pregnant woman should be taken to hospital in such cases the scene was more tricky here. Thus, Marc and his teammate had to make quick decisions.
