This is Jimmy Johnson, 70. Today, he saw his neighbor's home on fire, called 911, ran over, kicked down the door, ran upstairs, grabbed a man who was LITERALLY ON FIRE, carried him out, then used a blanket to put out the flames. Some heroes wear capes. Others are named Jimmy.

#OTD in 1852, an art exhibit opened at Firemen's Hall - noted as the city's first. A committee sought "paintings in oil or water, drawings, choice engravings and lithographs, statuary and sculpture, small specimens of mechanic arts and embroidery and needle work."
