    Last night we were near a fire in which a fire captain died--as soon as we saw the firefighters crying and hugging we knew they'd lost a man. Grateful for everyday heroes who run into buildings we'd run out of. Thank you for your service. God bless Officer Goodwin's family. God bless all of you. "While battling a blaze in south Philadelphia on Saturday evening, Captain Michael Goodwin fell from a third-story roof onto another structure that was engulfed in flames, fire officials said. A firefighter frantically tried to save Goodwin, was unsuccessful and suffered serious burns. That firefighter, Andrew Godlinski, 28, was rushed to a hospital and was in stable condition, fire officials said. Goodwin 53, worked for the Philadelphia Fire Deptartment for 29 years. He leaves behind a wife and two children."
