en It's amazing. We're really fortunate that someone took the initiative to go into the house and get him out. The man made the fire call and kept going. Normally we use the garage door. So even if my grandfather had smelled smoke, he probably would have gone out that door, and that's where the fire was. It definitely saved his life. They lost everything, but it could have been a lot worse. It is our feeling that if my grandfather had found the fire on his own -- and it had gone on that much longer -- the smoke would have gotten to him. We're trying to find out who the man was.

en The boy woke me up and said, 'Daddy, the water is coming through the door.' So, the water started rising from the door. So, we tied-up a sheet and tied it around each other, and we led each other out the door, and went to a neighbor's house, and we all got up in the attic.

en If you wouldst live long, live well; for folly and wickedness shorten life

en We were separated by the fire and I tried to hop a fence in the bone yard, where old bikes were, but the top had barbed wire. Luckily, his dog chased him down and was trying to knock him down while he was still on fire. A neighbor squirted him with a hose, but he was burned pretty bad.
