i jumped in the back with her and we left the venue on our way to the hospital. i just got word from her stepdad who actually is one of my brother s on the clark county fire department, that she stood up for the first time yesterday. so that was a really, really cool, uplifting moment. i cried but not because i m sad. it s because i m so, so proud of her for being that strong. reporter: it s hard not to be moved every time i hear that and haley put it the best, his wife saying that some people needed to be heroes and some people needed heroes that night and i ve talked to so many first responders and they all hate the word hero. they all hate it. no doubt about it, travis was cool, calm, collected in that moment and without him that 18-year-old, whose name is riley goldcard, without him, she might not have made it.
