Welcome! This board is intended for discussion of Wes Boyd's writings as posted on Spearfish Lake Tales (http://www.spearfishlaketales.com) Discussion of other authors that frequent these boards or sites is not off topic.
Please keep it clean and somewhere close to being on topic.
Wes has written about EMTs and first responders who try to save the injured and dying but I don't recall any who were seriously injured for their efforts. The young man's family is a family of first responders and he is taking a first responder class in high school. He's a real good samaritan. The Louisiana Governor visited him in the hospital and brought him a case of root beer.
