Our special guest will be active 6-year veteran of the Louisville Metro Fire Department Firefighter Bryce Carden. He was one of the heroes that saved a woman from a cab, still attached to a tractor-trailer, that was dangling over the side of a bridge. Since his death-defying rescue 115ft above the Ohio River, his life has been a whirlwind of interviews and appearances. He has gotten much of the attention since the incident, but he has quickly praised the other guys at the incident from his department. “Everybody did their jobs that day. I’m still a new guy in the department. You’ve got guys that have been doing this stuff for fifteen, twenty years. I’m just getting started.” ... That's our kind of guy....
