VIDEO: Helping others was second nature for Jose Salmanego, until he was the one who needed the help. “(He was) so selfless. He was so laser focused on helping other people,” his wife, Serena Salmanego, explained. He was a loving husband, a devoted dad, and a dedicated Golder Ranch firefighter. But Jose struggled with post-traumatic stress and addiction. What he witnessed at work often haunted him when he got home. Serena saw it firsthand. “It was the middle of the night nightmares and not being able to sleep. It was being distracted and irritable throughout the day,” she said.
