(11 Alive<\/a>) \u2013\u00a0It\u2019s been years since Cobb County firefighters saw Dan Davis \u2013 and it wasn\u2019t under the best conditions.<\/p>\n

In 2014, Davis was involved in an accident between a car and a motorcycle on Dallas Highway. He was on the motorcycle. He survived, but never got the chance to thank the men and women who made it possible.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to show them that what they do counts,\u201d Davis said. \u201cThey save lives, they contribute to us continuing on with our lives<\/p>\n

It would be years before their paths would cross again \u2013 but they did. Davis is a member of the Georgia National Guard and was assisting with Hurricane Michael relief efforts. He met a firefighter, Michelle Ice, from Cobb County and asked her what station she was from.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were working really hard down at Hurricane Michael down in south Georgia \u2013 just recovery stuff,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

It couldn\u2019t hurt to ask, right?<\/p>\n
