Two Women Rescue Paralyzed Mother From Fire at Airhart Drive
At 1:41 a.m. Friday, Frances Herreras and Stella Martinez rushed into the burning home of Mrs. Frank Garcia to save her after spotting smoke from the attic. Garcia, 54, has been paralyzed since a stroke and was alone when the fire started in the apartment occupied by her daughter-in-law Retha Garcia. The apartment was gutted and the rest of the house suffered heat and smoke damage. Fire Chief Art Lintelman suspects a vacuum cleaner or a cigarette may have started the blaze. Damages were not yet estimated.
