SOUTHINGTON, CT — When times are tough, heroes emerge. We all know someone who's making a difference right now as we live through unprecedented times. Here at Patch, we've launched an initiative to help recognize these everyday heroes.

This submission comes from Bella Maye, who nominated Kam Kuziora of Southington.

Here is the nomination:

Is the nominee considered an “essential worker”?:

Yes

What does the nominee do for work?:

Fire Fighter

Why do you believe the nominee should be recognized or honored?

He is a very committed person who will go above and beyond for anyone he comes across, He has been a fire fighter for 3 years now but in that time he has been able to be a part of LifeStar where his passion had grown stronger but experienced traumatic events in the EMS Feild , he has a saying "My job isn’t done until I know they are safe and or I put a smile on their face."

What's one thing you want everyone to know about your hero?

He will give you the shirt off his back if you needed it, But personality wise he is a all around funny guy who loves to put people in good moods, always has sweet tea with him at all times.
