JUST FOR 43 LOOK WHAT WAS AVOIDED

When the call crackled over his radio, Jim O'Hara, a detective in the burglary division of the Plantation Police Department, happened to be in the neighborhood. A man had taken three young girls hostage and threatened to blow them up.

When O'Hara arrived at the scene, one of the girls ran out of the burning house screaming the man was going to kill them. O'Hara and another officer rushed inside and were trapped during an explosion and fire. The suspect and two of the girls died in the fire. The other officer was burned on more than 20 percent of his body. And O'Hara was nearly burned to death, suffering burns on nearly 80 percent of his body.

For six months, O'Hara was hospitalized in Jackson's Trauma Unit, clinging to his life. Another three months was spent in rehab, trying to repair both physical and emotional injuries. Over the next three years, 25 operations patched him back together. More than once, doctors did not believe O'Hara would survive, but he proved them wrong.

"The most devastating part of my injury," he said, was knowing he could not return to the law-enforcement job he loved. His hands were burned so badly he could not shoot a gun again.
