An ‘Everyday Hero’ is defined by WTMJ’s Wis. Morning News as “an average Jon/Jane Doe who, when they woke up one morning, had no idea they’d be saving a life.”

In Oak Lawn, Illinois, two Domino’s Pizza workers were recognized by the Oak Lawn Fire Department for their bravery in helping a father save his 8-year-old son from a burning trailer, according to Patch.com.
Nasereddin Khanfer and Sara Jones were wrapping up their shift when they noticed a mobile home on fire across the street. Khanfer and Jones ran to the fire and helped rescue an 8-year-old boy from the inside the trailer.
They helped the boy’s father pull him through a window to safety moments before the entire mobile home was engulfed in flames, the fire chief told a village board meeting this week.
The boy suffered minor burns but is otherwise ok.
Thank you Nasereddin and Sara for being Everyday Heros!
