Jake Kabella was in the middle of a 24 hour shift at Crown Point Indiana Fire and Rescue department. Prior to this, Jake had just completed a 12-hour shift he picked up at another fire department a few miles away. Jake and his coworker, Adam, were scrolling through theCHIVE’s Friday HQ DAR on their phones in between calls to two different car accidents. After a few laughs, Adam turned to Jake and asked how he was doing. Adam could see how the extra hours were wearing on Jake but he also knew Jake was working this grueling schedule to simply make ends meet. “I’m good.” Jake responded with a weary smile.
While Jake is a modest hero in his own right, regularly putting his life on the line to save others, he does it all for his family and one specific superhero at home – Emmett.
