He Was Running Late for Work When He Saw the Smoke

Ryan Pasborg was already behind schedule on a February morning in Jamestown, Wyoming, when he noticed a house on fire. He pulled over anyway.

Ryan Pasborg was running late for work on a February morning in Jamestown, Wyoming, when he spotted smoke and flames coming from a house along his route.

He pulled over.

Inside the burning home was a young mother and her son. Pasborg got them both out safely before the fire spread further.

The Green River Fire Department recognized Pasborg publicly for his bravery — a man who had every practical reason to keep driving and chose not to.

The mother and her son went home because a stranger was running late and decided his schedule could wait.
