00:00.000 --> 00:02.500
(light music)

00:10.780 --> 00:15.520
- It's just dark, dark smoke
30 or so feet above the house.

00:15.520 --> 00:17.533
I slowed down, called 911.

00:18.930 --> 00:21.053
I was assisted by the dispatcher,

00:21.920 --> 00:24.220
or being prompted by the dispatcher

00:24.220 --> 00:25.970
to see if anyone was in the house.

00:25.970 --> 00:28.390
I went up to that door and
was just pounding on the door

00:28.390 --> 00:31.250
and yelling hello is anyone there?

00:31.250 --> 00:33.860
And I thought there's gotta
be someone in the house.

00:33.860 --> 00:37.849
Well the window that's
plywooded, it was shattered,

00:37.849 --> 00:40.760
and there was smoke just
billowing out of it,

00:40.760 --> 00:45.310
probably about as far as we
are away, five or seven feet.

00:45.310 --> 00:47.840
I saw a woman laying on the ground

00:47.840 --> 00:52.840
and I just basically
took a big breath of air

00:54.870 --> 00:57.680
and ran in and just grabbed her by the arm

00:57.680 --> 01:00.720
and pulled her out and she
just started breathing.

01:00.720 --> 01:05.360
It was labored breathing,
but she was breathing.

01:05.360 --> 01:07.993
I picked her up, brought
her over to my truck,

01:09.270 --> 01:12.470
put my coat on her and
basically just talked to her

01:12.470 --> 01:15.420
until the fire and ambulance came.

01:15.420 --> 01:18.133
And I was just thinking, wow she's alive!

01:19.110 --> 01:23.516
So I did actually receive
a text message from her

01:23.516 --> 01:25.407
the other day and it said, "So sorry

01:25.407 --> 01:27.887
"that I can't see you
and thank you personally,

01:27.887 --> 01:30.137
"as I can't even talk at the moment.

01:30.137 --> 01:32.147
"Thank you for saving my life.

01:32.147 --> 01:35.147
"I am composing a thank you
card to send to you in the mail.

01:36.167 --> 01:37.987
"I'll see you when I am well again."

01:38.830 --> 01:39.780
That's pretty cool.
