Awakened by his barking dogs about 2 a.m., Jamie Sheetz looked out his window to see a neighbor’s mobile home engulfed in flames. Dressed only in shorts, he sprinted across the lawn, smashed through a window of the burning home, grabbed the child from his bedroom and carried him back out the window to safety.
Fire officials say the boy was moments away from being overcome by flames, with “literally, seconds” to spare.
Like almost every hero, he said he was only doing what anyone would have done, “I did what a man’s supposed to do.” (LancasterOnline.com)
a real man…rejects passivity, accepts responsibilty, acts courageously, and expects a greater reward. Thanks for the example!
stunning act of courage.
