A child is in a hospital after Hillsborough County first responders saved him from an overnight house fire. FOX13
The fire ripped through the home on Joe Ebert Road in Thonotosassa – almost burning it to the ground. After sunrise, the remnants of the home were seen scorched and scattered around the property: burned-out beams, ash, and a barely-standing house that is no longer livable.
Deputies arrived at the scene first. Wasting no time, they smashed a window in the front of the house to pull the boy to safety. Firefighters arrived not long after and got to work. Officials said when they arrived, a garage next to the home was completely engulfed, with the home almost completely covered in flames as well.
"[It was a] sigh of relief, once we could see his arm and pull him into the window, it was just relief and happiness," Deputy Maldonado said.
