STURTEVANT â Months before his senior year, Brandon Cruz was celebrating his birthday at Red Lobster with friends and family before firefighter paramedics ran into the restaurant and responded to a call of an older man having difficulty breathing.
Cruz admired the way the firefighters quickly moved on the scene, calmed the familyâs nerves and maintained a bond with one another, even when few words were exchanged.
