Portsmouth, VA — For firefighter Mark Reynolds, every emergency call is a race against time. But nothing could have prepared him for the horror of arriving at the scene of a car accident only to discover that one of the victims was his own wife.
It was a routine Thursday evening when the alarm sounded at Station 17. A multi-vehicle collision had been reported on the interstate, with injuries. Reynolds, a 12-year veteran of the department, suited up without hesitation, unaware that this call would change his life forever.
The Call No First Responder Wants to Experience
As Engine 17 arrived at the scene, Reynolds and his team immediately assessed the wreckage. Two cars had collided head-on, and a third had swerved to avoid the crash, slamming into the guardrail. The firefighters moved quickly, stabilizing vehicles and extracting the injured.
Then, as Reynolds approached one of the overturned cars, he saw something that made his blood run cold—a familiar pendant dangling from the rearview mirror. It was the silver heart necklace he had given his wife, Lisa, for their anniversary.
“I remember freezing for a second,” Reynolds later recounted, his voice shaking. “I kept telling myself, It can’t be her. It can’t be. But then I saw her hand, and I knew.”
