<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Reynolds and his team quickly worked to stabilize the situation and help the injured.<\/p>\n

Then came the moment no first responder ever wants to face.<\/p>\n

\u201cI remember freezing for a second\u2026 I kept telling myself,<\/p>\n

*It can\u2019t be her.* But then I saw her hand, and I knew.\u201d<\/p>\n

The call that began like any other ended in tragedy\u2014one<\/p>\n
