They had to get many people out of the burning building as quickly as they could. So they told them to jump out of the window.
The first one out of the window was a man. He was followed by his two children. Next, a baby and then the baby's mother came flying out of the third-storeyed window, all driven by desperation and the smoke that was coming from the apartment. Brian Smith and Corey Boykin helped them all. "We caught everything that came out of the window. " Smith said.
A fire started on the second floor. "I got my family out," said Smith. "Then I started banging on doors on the first floor. I tried getting to the second floor, but the smoke was too black. I couldn't see; I couldn't breathe. So I turned around and came outside. That's when I saw people hanging out of the window."
Boykin was at his friend Melanie Nunemaker's house, across the street from the apartment. He knew something was wrong when he saw a baby drop out of the window. Catching the child below was Smith.
Boykin ran to a nearby house to get a ladder and rushed back to help. He found Smith with his arms outstretched, shouting," Jump! I get you. "He caught several people. Boykin climbed the ladder to warm people on the third floor to turn around and come toward him because they couldn't see through the smoke.
And he wasn't finished. When Boykin saw his burnt-out neighbors, he took 20 of them back to Nunemaker's house. "They gave us clothes, shoes, whatever they had-and we didn't, "one of the neighbors Chase Ray said, "They saved us."
