The second video in our "Community Heroes" series with El Mundo Boston, "Sirens to Sidelines" profiles Julio Pastrana, a veteran firefighter from Lowell who is as much a hero off-duty as he is on the front lines. Known for his bravery in firefighting, Julio also serves as a mentor and soccer coach, guiding his high school team to their first championship victory in 17 years. This inspiring story highlights Julio’s ability to transform adversity into lessons of empowerment for the young athletes he mentors, showing that true heroism extends beyond the firehouse and onto the playing field.
