A 7-year-old and 13-year-old child were freed from a burning south Phoenix home, thanks to the help of a retired firefighter who saw the smoke while driving.
A neighbor told FOX 10 that he normally took the kids to school and knew that the 7-year-old and 13-year-old were still inside, so he ran across the street to try to free them.
That's when a retired Arizona firefighter who saw the smoke stepped in and helped the neighbor break a window open. "You have a lot of training so that's what you do, you don't think about it, you assume the risk, you go in, and you pull the kids out," said Dana Lambert, the retired firefighter.Firefighters were able to prevent the flames from spreading to other homes, and it is now under control.Family members say a dog escaped and is still missing.
