Every child has a dream of what they want to be， right? When Renee Butts was    ， her dream was to become a volunteer firefighter because her father was one. Sadly， when she was 14， her father died and she was    able to volunteer with him. Renee’s story doesn’t   there， however， which is why I think of her as a true     . She was strong-minded and never    ， which makes her a good firefighter.

Some days she must be ready to deal with any emergency， like    a fire， dealing with a car accident or helping someone     is sick. Other days she is in the driver’s seat. Sometimes Renee works nine or eleven hours a month on 24-hour shifts. She also has a     to take care of. Her husband is a firefighter， too.

Renee remembers the     time she fought a fire. She was awoken early in the morning by the alarm. She said she was very     but did what she had to do.

    I asked Renee what the best part of her job is， she replied， “Helping people and saving their lives.”I think that     signs of being a true hero. She’s always glad to do     for anyone in need. With 140 people in her station， Renee is one of the only three women.

I think she’s great. We could never live     people like Renee who is glad to help others. Renee’s deed helps me believe that     can do anything. Someday I hope to be just her： to wake up and help people every day.
