We all like to imagine we would do whatever it takes to help others if we witnessed a tragedy, such as a house fire or car accident. We see it all the time when watching our favorite shows and movies, but these random heroic acts rarely happen in real life. When they do, they’re awe- inspiring. One New York City man was faced with one of these harrowing situations and showed tremendous courage when he helped save lives, all while on the clock. Fritz Sam works as an Uber driver in New York City. He had just picked up a passenger and was taking her to LaGuardia Airport when he noticed a hectic scene in a Brooklyn neighborhood.

oys of New Mexico Skiing snow tubing. It’s also the only location in the state to offer night skiing (on Friday and Saturday). Plus, no visit is complete without a look at the resort’s namesake — the stunning, fiery red sunsets. Red River Ski Area mainly caters to families, but it does have a few hidden challenges. In fact, skiers will find a wide variety of terrain to explore, from bunny hills to steep slopes for advanced participants.

Finally, Sipapu Ski Resort provides an affordable ski option that many locals love. Forget the fine dining and luxury lodge — your visit to Sipapu is all about skiing. The location also boasts the longest ski season in the Southwest, so you can enjoy the exhilarating sport for more months each year.

soon saw flames and dark smoke emerging from a second-story window of an apartment building. He asked his passenger if he could pull over to offer help. He approached a group of bystanders, yelling for people to get out of the residence. As
people fled the building, Sam asked if everyone was out. Someone said there were still people inside. Without hesitation, Sam ran through the building and found a woman who was hesitant about leaving. He convinced her to go and brought her to safety, and then he returned to help another man get out of the building. Once he saw firefighters on the scene, Sam returned to his vehicle and proceeded to drop his passenger off at the airport. She still made her flight, even with their impromptu stop. In a statement to “TODAY,” Uber said, “We’re incredibly grateful to have such a heroic and thoughtful member of our community in Fritz. He went above and beyond to keep his neighbors in New York safe — and still managed to get his rider to the airport on time.” When talking to “TODAY,” Sam stated, “You’d be surprised what little things we do that can be impactful. Because, trust me, those little things are going to make a big difference for somebody.” It’s safe to say that very few people consider Sam’s actions a “little thing.” He acted heroically and is an inspiration to many.
