MIAMI, Fla. — A woman in despair sat on a bench outside her apartment early Monday morning, but it wasn’t because her West Miami-Dade apartment was about to burn to ashes.
A neighbor had to stop her from going back into the smoke-filled apartment to save a precious item. “I basically took a peak into her apartment when I pulled her out,” said neighbor Alex Morales. “Her entire kitchen was on fire. She was fighting me to try to go back in.”
When firefighters arrived, the woman begged Miami-Dade Firefighter Andy Suarez to get it for her. She made it known that she did not care about the contents in her house,” said Suarez. “All she wanted was that picture.” Moments later, Suarez emerged with a large picture frame. The mother could only say “thank you” with a kiss and a hug.
