A New Jersey family woke up Saturday morning to every room in their house engulfed in flames. Multiple children were inside when an explosion rocked their house Vernon Avenue in the Port Reading section of Woodbridge around 9:30 a.m. When interviewed, Andre Baker states "when the explosion happened, we were all asleep. We just felt fire. And my nieces hair was on fire. My uncle came from the basement on fire. His head was in flames. And my brother put him out."
Relatives were staying over to celebrate a birthday for nephew Daniel Davis. He had just turned ten. When he woke up to the fire, he reacted by getting his younger brothers and cousins out of the house. He saved the lives of two 5 year old boys and a 3 year old. One of his uncles is now an amputee from being on fire, another uncle suffered severe burns and was airlifted to the hospital. And his nephew hurt his hand throwing his uncle out the front door.

This little boy was so brave and heroic. I am glad that he was able to help his family out without further injuring himself or his family members. I hope they are able to recover from this fire quickly.
ReplyDeletei agree, this story could have had a much different outcome
DeleteThis story is astounding. I can not imagine how scared this family must have been. To wake up feeling fire must be pretty traumatizing, and I really hope that this family is able to recover as quickly as possible.
