Every child has a dream of what they want to be，right? When Renee Butts was little，her dream was to become a volunteer firefighter because her father was one．Sadly，when she was 14，her father died and she was never able to volunteer with him．Renee's story doesn't end there，however，which is why I think of her as a true hero．She was strong-minded and never gave up，which makes her a good firefighter．

Some days she must be ready to deal with any emergency，like fighting a fire，dealing with a car accident or helping someone who's sick．Other days she is in the driver's seat．Sometimes Renee works nine to eleven days a month on 24-hour shits．She also has a family to take care of．Her husband is a firefighter，too．

Renee remembers the first time she fought a fire．She was awoken early in the morning by the alarm．She said she was very nervous but did what she had to do．

When I asked Renee what the best part of her job is，she replied，“Helping people and saving their lives．” I think that shows signs of being a true hero．She's always glad to do anything for anyone in need．With 140 people in her station，Renee is one of the only three women．

I think she's great．We could never live without people like her who is glad to help others．Renee's deed helps me believe that I can do anything．I hope someday to be just like her：to wake up and help people every day．
