After fireworks catch a house on fire, three men rush to save a trapped woman
During a neighborhood fireworks show Wednesday night in Denver, Colorado, a stray firecracker landed in a house's front yard and ignited a bush. .
As the bush was engulfed in flames, a few men passing by acted quickly to save a woman who was trapped by fear on the porch screaming for help, CNN affiliate KMGH reports.
The fire consumed much of the house's front yard, blocking the path out from the front door.
William Birkett was driving by. He saw the firework hit the bush and pulled over.
"I tried my best to put it out with my water bottles that I had in my car," Birkett told KMGH. "The neighbor was using his garden hose."
The woman who lived there was frozen in fear outside the front door. Birkett and two other men ran up to her porch where she was crying out.
"Ma'am, the house is burning," one said. "Is there anyone else in there?" She was the only one.
Firefighters arrived shortly afterward, extinguishing the blaze.
