Six adults and two young children were inside watching television when
the room began filling with smoke. After the children were rescued and
everyone made it outside safely, a man who walks with a cane went back
in the burning house to retrieve something he left behind.
"I told them to get the kids out and everything, and me myself, being an
alcoholic, I was trying to get my beer out," said Walter Serpit, "I
went back into the house like a dummy and the door shut on me because
this back draft was about to kill me."
Serpit managed to save several cans of beer and he escaped the home without getting burned. The Red Cross arrived shortly after firefighters extinguished the flames and they are helping the family get back on their feet.
