Kellen Heinzman has never worn a cape, subdued an arch villain with a well-placed karate kick or leaped a tall building in a single bound.
But the Blue Springs South Junior ROTC Cadet Captain is a hero – a real-life hero – who recently saved a couple when their pontoon boat caught fire near the Lake Jacomo Marina.
Heinzman, who works at the marina, heard one the members of the marina crew yell, “Fire,” and the South senior couldn’t believe what he saw.
“Their pontoon was on fire, and it was about 20 or 30 yards from the dock,” said Heinzman.
