Today, the AWESOME is in Louisiana. Andrew Nixon, a firefighter with St. Bernard Parish, was driving home from a wedding with his fiancée when he spotted flames ahead near the Mississippi state line. A car had collided with an 18-wheeler and was quickly catching fire. Realizing someone was trapped inside, he stopped his vehicle and ran toward the burning car. With flames growing, Nixon used his bare hands to smash through the windshield, cutting himself in the process. As smoke filled the car, he knew he had only moments left. He was able to pull the woman from the car just seconds before it was fully engulfed in flames. For Nixon, the rescue held a deeply personal meaning. Earlier this year, his young niece Everleigh tragically drowned. He says the moment on the highway felt like she was there with him. The woman was airlifted to a New Orleans hospital and is now recovering. Nixon’s hands were cut and bruised, but he says the experience brought unexpected healing, and THAT’S AWESOME.
