Mahwah Patch
MAHWAH, N.J. — An elderly couple escaped a fire that claimed their mobile home and the lives of their three cats Monday, thanks to the speedy response of a neighbor with big dreams.
According to 17-year-old Morgan Herndon, he was returning home at about 12:15 Monday morning when he noticed the fire across the street.
“At first, I thought it was a campfire, but I thought that was a little strange so late at night,” Herndon told Patch. “I went over to see what was going on, and that’s when I noticed the whole porch was up in flames.”
