Being an assistant fire chief, Dave Carroll has had to run into a few burning buildings, but early Sunday morning, June 6, Dave’s wife, Sheryl, was also called into action.
The Carrolls were arriving home about midnight in Lu Verne and were pulling into their garage when they noticed that there was fire and smoke coming from the deck area of their neighbor’s home at 303 Hanna Ave.
Their neighbors, Bailey Anderson and Tom Stringer, were home asleep, along with their six children.
“They live directly south of us and when we pulled up we could see the back of the house and the deck on fire. Dave told me to call 911 and he went the two blocks to the fire station to get the fire truck,” Sheryl Carroll said.
Sheryl said the couple had just bought the home last November.
