Homeless Man Is Called ‘An Angel’ After Saving Family From Fire
A homeless man, who sprang into action, risked his safety to save a family of three from a fire is being called an angel.
Heroism is easy to spot but hard often hard to do. Everyone knows what a heroic act is, but it’s likely that not many would have the courage to complete one. Someone who would willingly put their safety at risk for the welfare of another, often a complete stranger, is a special kind of individual. Jim Hollins is that kind of person. He’s a hero.
In May, a fire broke out at an apartment in Phoenix, Arizona. Since the flames started around 4 a.m., the family of three – a mother and two little girls – were asleep at the time, according to a video posted on YouTube.
However, the mother and her two children encountered trouble when they attempted to exit the burning apartment. The apartment’s front door and the stairs were engulfed in flames. But help was on the way, coming from an unlikely source.
The mother, Claudia Jimenez, opened one of the apartment’s windows and began shouting for help. Jim happened to hear Claudia’s screams for help. He then quickly rushed over to the burning apartment and got to work.
Jim said he climbed up the side of the window. Then one by one, Jim grabbed both children, their two dogs and Claudia. He had removed the family from the burning building when no one else was around.
But before she was rescued, Claudia was a bit apprehensive. However, Jim assured her she was in good hands.
“She didn’t want to come, at first,” Jim said. “She’s scared she was going to fall. I was like, ‘I got you, don’t worry.’”
Claudia said she will be eternally grateful for Jim’s brave and heroic act.
“I will forever be thankful with him, you know?” Claudia said. “Like I said, to me, he was an angel. He was there when I needed. I looked around and no one else was around.”
Philippians 2:4 “Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.”
