Split-Second Decisions: The Kennedys’ Dramatic Roadside Rescue

What would you do if you saw an SUV engulfed in flames—2 people trapped inside—and time running out?

30-year veteran firefighter Matt Kennedy and his wife Cheryl, a seasoned nurse of 26 years, ran toward the fire. It was a fatal motorcycle crash. A head-on collision. Flames. Screams. Then action: Shoot out the glass in a race against the fire. The couple’s teamwork saved both victims just seconds before fire swallowed the vehicle whole.

And wait until you hear the rest of this family’s story. The Kennedys’ four children? Firefighter. Future firefighter. Teacher. Child mental health counselor. Public service runs deep in the Kennedy DNA.
