Ormond Beach Fire Capt. Hunter Ramirez knows that every time a call comes in, somebody's likely having the worst day of their life. 

Whether the call is for a medical emergency or a fire, knowing that he and his crew are able to help them, and seeing the relief on their faces when the fire truck arrives, makes the job rewarding, Ramirez said.

"Every day that I come in, I get to work with a great group of guys," Ramirez said. "But trying to make a difference each shift is something that I try to live by. If my family had an emergency right now, who would I want coming to take care of them? So every day, I use that as motivation — every day, we should be getting better."
