BRAZOS COUNTY, Texas (KBTX/Gray News) - Two young men and a firefighter from Texas are being praised as heroes for jumping in to help a couple whose pickup truck crashed through a fence and plunged into a pond.

Jim Hesse was driving with his wife, Shirley Nallie-Hesse, in Brazos County the morning of Aug. 28 when he lost control of his pickup truck, according to state troopers.
