Fox 6 has a story of a South Milwaukee house fire late Monday morning that left nine people homeless. No one was hurt in the blaze at 3424 S. Chicago Avenue thanks in part to an observant three-year-old.
Check out the full story and video on Fox6Now.com. From the story:
The Herzog family had many to get out of the burning house. The kids had no school, and were home. All except one child who’s in a program for autism. Three-year-old Hannah was the first to see fire shooting out of the basement dryer. Another family was trapped on the upstairs porch of the duplex. Bobbie Herzog says, “The people outside were yelling. The girl’s standing out there yelling. ‘Get me down, get me down’ and we couldn’t find a ladder so he says ‘Slide over the side, I’ll just catch you’ So we all helped her down.”
The Herzogs have no renter’s insurance and have to start from scratch. There’s not much left to salvage.
At least they have their lives … and, hopefully, your prayers.
