A good Samaritan in Arizona is gaining praise for saving neighbors’ lives after a massive fire overtook a mobile home Monday morning.
Listen to them on the latest episode of Quick Start ?
The hero, quoted in local media only as “Jay,” immediately took action when flames broke out at an RV park in Phoenix, knocking on doors and then very literally saving a man’s life.
“I had to run back into my place to get a flashlight, because I could not see visibly,” Jay said. “The smoke was really intense.”
Once he got inside the blazing mobile home, he saw a man in duress and proceeded to help him.
“[I] found him laying on the floor [and] drug him out,” Jay told KNXV-TV.
As it turns out, the good Samaritan also knocked on the mobile home next door, letting resident Joseph Galasso know that the fire could easily spread and endanger his family.
Galasso said he’s grateful for Jay’s kind and quick-thinking actions, noting the fire might have killed him while he slept.
“If it wasn’t for them, this man would not be alive today,” he told KNXV-TV. “The flames were already up through the roof.”
Galasso continued, “I have to say ‘thank you’ to him, because he saved me.”
Firefighters agree there very likely would have been a “different outcome” had Jay not stepped in to drag the unnamed victim out of the home.
The man, who was treated for smoke inhalation, will reportedly be OK. As for Jay, he said he was doing what he knew was right.
“Just like anybody else, you kind of think, if this happened to me or somebody else, that somebody else would do the same thing for you,” he said.
Please be praying for the victim as well as Galasso, as both lost their mobile homes in the incident.
