Normally, when fire crews have to race to put out a fire in a home, a “good ending” is that everyone got out safe and the house suffered a few grand in damage.
Thanks to a 13-year-old in Aloha, we’ve now got a NEW definition for a “good ending.”
The teen was taking out the trash last night when he heard a smoke alarm down the street (flames were also licking at the windows). Apparently a candle kicked off the blaze while the two older neighbors were sound asleep (the alarm didn’t wake them up).
The teen called for help and firefighters showed up a few minutes later.
How’s this for amazing: the couple got out without a scratch … and the house only suffered $200.00 in damage.
The kid will be recognized for his quick thinking in a couple weeks and will forever be able to use the pick up line “hey, did I ever tell you about how I rescued two elderly neighbors from a fire?”
