We are sometimes surprised by the projects around the house we have started. We find items we thought we had lost, or projects we had started long ago but completely forgotten we even had them.

It could be an off duty nurse coming to the aid of someone who has collapsed on the footpath due to a sudden heart attack. Or an individual rushes into a burning building to save a life.
