That seems to be the motto for city of Tampa workers Timothy E. Williams and Kendrick T. Atwood.
The two Clean City Department employees were driving a 2,500-gallon reclaimed water tanker around 10 a.m. Tuesday when they heard a woman screaming outside the Alamo Hotel, 6110 N Nebraska Ave. Unit 7 of the single-story motel was on fire, and Dennis Robinson, 65, who has rented the room for 12 years, was nowhere to be found.
Atwood and Williams sprung into action, using a hose from their tanker truck to knock down the flames until the fire department could arrive.
The fire started when an air conditioner unit shorted, creating $40,000 in damages, Tampa Fire Rescue Capt. Bill Wade said.
But Atwood and Williams were lauded as heroes whose quick actions spared the rest of the building.
