A POTENTIALLY DEADLY SITUATION LATE THIS PAST SUNDAY AFTERNOON.
THE ALBUQUERQUE FIRE DEPARTMENT SAYS THEY WERE SENT TO A FIRE OUTSIDE A HOME IN SOUTHEAST ALBUQUERQUE. HOWEVER, BEFORE THEY ARRIVED, A YOUNG ADULT LIVING NEXT DOOR SMELLED SMOKE, JUMPED A WALL AND PULLED A CHILD FROM A TENT THAT WAS FULLY ENGULFED IN FLAMES.
BOTH WERE SEVERELY BURNED AND NOW REMAIN IN STABLE CONDITION. AFD SAYS IT WAS THE HEROIC ACT OF THE YOUNG ADULT THAT LIKELY SAVED THE LIFE OF THE CHILD.
A GO-FUND-ME ACCOUNT HAS BEEN OPENED TO HELP COVER THE THE YOUNG MAN’S MEDICAL AND REHAB BILLS.
