A well-known example of a courageous hero is a firefighter or a police officer. These people put their lives on the line every day, with very little pay to ensure that we have our safety. They will go into the most dangerous situations in order to stop it and try to make sure no one will get hurt. Fireman will walk into a burning house to save anyone who may be stuck in there, so they do not burn and die. Police officers will go after any dangerous criminal and try to stop them so they cannot go out and hurt others. They do not do it for the money, they do it simply because they love helping
