Feel Good Story; Maryland College Student Saves Woman From Burning House

Aside from all the chaotic articles I post, I ran across a story of a young man who saved an 80-year-old from a burning house when she couldn't get out herself.

On Wednesday, Williams saw Gail Johnson’s home engulfed in flames; but with the commotion and noise of the fire trucks, Williams was the one who heard Johnson’s cry for help.

“I yelled to the fire department, ‘Somebody’s in the house,’” Williams told WJZ. “But it was loud, like the sirens, and there was a lot of cars driving by.”

 

“So at that time, that’s when I jumped over the fence and went in and opened the door for her. She was struggling to get the door open,” Williams said.

Johnson’s family believes it was an act of God that Williams happened to be in the right place at the right time, and he’s being called a hero.

But Williams said he’s no hero, he was just following the values instilled in him by his mom.

“I keep telling everybody, I don’t think I’m a hero or anything,” he said. “It’s just, I did something I wish anybody else would have done.”

Johnston’s daughter says her mom is currently fighting cancer, struggles with COPD, and uses oxygen.

Here's the video; 

We're so glad both are ok and made it out safe. We hope for the best for Gail Johnston and her fight with cancer and COPD. I could only imagine what was running through her head, given the fact she's already fighting for her life. Job well done William's.
