“From Friday Night Lights to Real-Life Hero: Coach Rescues Driver From Fiery Crash”

How often do you really wash your sheets and towels? It might seem like a small detail in your weekly routine, but in reality, it’s a cornerstone of health and well-being. Towels trap moisture, creating the perfect breeding ground for bacteria, mold, and even skin-irritating fungi. Sheets, meanwhile, quietly collect sweat, oils, dust mites, and allergens—layer by layer—night after night. Regular washing isn’t just about fresh scent or soft fabric; it’s about protecting your skin, your immune system, and your peace of mind.

Joining us to remind us how quickly life can turn on a single decision is Pioneer High School defensive backs coach Paul Rifino, the third hero who saved Stefan Cabezas, known to us as “The Foosh.” When Stefan’s car flipped and caught fire on the busy 105 freeway, Rifino was among those who rushed in. He not only helped pull Stefan from the burning wreckage—risking his own life as flames threatened to engulf them all—but then directed freeway traffic to protect others from further disaster. In our conversation, Paul shares what it was like in those harrowing seconds: the scramble to flip the car upright, the urgent knowledge that the vehicle could explode at any moment, and the weight of watching Stefan fight for his life. He also speaks to Stefan’s courage in the face of unimaginable danger and how close they all came to tragedy. It’s a story that reminds us: small, consistent acts—like washing your sheets and towels—protect us in quiet ways, while acts of extraordinary bravery—like Paul Rifino’s—can change the course of a life in an instant.
