John Wonio who is a resident of Des Moines Iowa will say that he was just doing his duty as a good neighbor when a house fire that happened on Saturday morning. John risked his life by getting inside the home as he was able to call 911 to ask for help before he entered the smoke-filled room to rescue a woman who passed out from the effects of smoke inhalation inside the living room. A police officer from the Des Moines Police Department assisted John to get the unconscious woman out of the house along with authority figures getting the man who also was found unconscious due to smoke inhalation. The couple were taken by an ambulance to a local hospital where their condition is not known at this time. The sad part of this story is that three dogs and five cats died in the fire that started in the kitchen. Link is msn.com/en-us/news/cri...

Don't know whether to laugh or cry but I am glad the couple got rescued, Cannot understand that all those animals didn't just run outside,

That is sad that the animals didn't make it. I would think that the smoke inhalation got them. Good think the couple were rescued. I hope they have a full recovery.

The loss of life of a pet in painful since I know the feeling of losing a pet in the past due to old age.
