DENVER (CBS4) - An uber Denver Broncos fan from Colorado has been nominated into the Ford Hall of Fans. Robert Garner, also known as Rescue Rob, was surprised by Denver Broncos Hall of Famer Champ Bailey, according the Bleacher Report.

Garner serves as a Poudre Fire Authority firefighter. He even drives the Broncos Country Engine 7 decked out in orange and a big Broncos logo.
