Must see story on bond between DC lieutenant & child he saved from a house fire

With all the bad news in recent years coming out of the fire department in the Nation’s Capital, the good stories sometimes get lost. WJLA-TV reporter Chris Pabst made sure this story got through. It’s about DC Fire & EMS Department Lt. James Gordon and a boy named William Brooks.

A little more than 17-months-ago Lt. Gordon pulled the critically injured boy out of a fire on Stevens Road, Southeast. The fire killed two others and seriously burned William’s mother.

Lt. Gordon visited the boy in the hospital and from there the two have spent a lot of time together.

Chris Pabst, WJLA-TV:

Since that moment in the hospital, William and Gordon have built a relationship few can truly understand. They boat together, ride four-wheelers, attend baseball games, and go to the movies. Last week, they went to the White House.
