Back in 2003, Captain Edward Roel, Captain Brandon Jennings, and two other firefighters with the Austin Fire Department saved Lily’s life when she was born at home in cardiac arrest.
"It was one of those calls that just kind of stuck with us for a long time, and still does," said Roel.
"What they do matters and it makes a huge difference in people's lives. I am sure that my daughter would not be here today if it weren't for people showing up to help us when we needed it," she said. "If this never happened to me, I would not be as strong as I am today and would not have pushed myself as hard as I have," said Lily.
