Earlier this year we asked you to nominate an amazing first responder
for Good Housekeeping’s Playing With Fire Hometown Heroes contest.
While only one winner got to appear on our cover with the film’s star,
John Cena, the individuals you see here are some incredible nominees
we had the privilege of learning from. Turn to page 23 to read their
inspiring stories and smart, actionable advice on how you can stay safe
and potentially help first responders in your own community.
