WTMJ’s Wis. Morning News defines an EVERYDAY HERO as “an average Jon/Jane Doe who, when they woke up one morning, had no idea they’d be saving a life.”

In South Weber, Utah: Highmark Charter School athletic director Clay Jackson was putting away sports equipment when he heard an explosion. A car had crashed into power equipment, sending sparks flying with the driver inside.
Jackson ran to a business next door.
“I’m like, ‘You got a fire extinguisher?’ And the lady in there hands one to me, and as I’m running out, I mean, the funny thing though was I’ve never used a fire extinguisher,” Jackson told Fox13 Salt Lake City. “I just kind of go with instinct. I’m like okay you pull the pin. And I pointed at it and just started kind of hosing down the fire.”
The driver was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, and besides being without power, nearby businesses are still standing, Fox13 reported.
Thank you Clay Jackson for being an EVERYDAY HERO!!!
