A 16 year old girl jumps from an attic room (third floor) due to a fire. A woman that cleaned the place wasn't sure how it started but did everything she could to help the girl but was blocked by a wall of fire. A young man who was walking passed the house noticed the girl getting ready to jump and quickly ran over to her to help her. He was able to catch her and save her from the fire. The doctors from the hospital said that she would make it with only a few scrapes from breaking the attic glass window.
This article was posted by CNN news and WFMZ reports. This incident happened in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania on August 26, 2014. This article was written to inform others about a tragic incident and to hopefully warn others about fires and circumstances involving fires. The firefighters were still trying to figure out how the fire started and said that there had been past wiring issues with the house. I think it is important to have back up plans for when an incident like this can occur. I think this article sets both and a positive and negative influence on others. Positive because it reveals how possible any situation can be and to warn others and to alert others. Negative because tragic things like this can/will occur and also lives can be in danger.

This entire situation is very frightening but knowing how the house had clearly experienced electrical issues prior to this proves how one must take seemingly small details very seriously. Hopefully most audiences will take this article as a chance to be more aware of unexpected situations that can occur.
ReplyDeleteShe was really lucky to have someone pass by to catch her.
ReplyDeleteThis article should serve as a warning to its readers: make sure to have a fire escape plan ready and memorized before an emergency occurs.
