A real hero story from California

Tweet

I would call a jogger who happened to be in the right place at the right time on Friday during the day when he smoke coming from the roof of a home in Scotts Valley California. The jogger who is so modest that he asked the local media not to show his face on camera when he had a chat with Courtney Polito who is the owner of the home that was on fire through her Ring doorbell camera that she needed to leave her home as soon as she could since of the fire went the extra mile to assist Courtney by getting inside her home to rescue her two dogs, a cat and a rabbit. Courtney allowed the jogger to enter her home since she heard the smoke alarms go off inside of her home. Otherwise she would have thought that the jogger was playing a prank on her or he wanted to steal items from her home. The fire was contained to the garage area according to the local fire department officials. What makes the jogger such a great person is that despite Courtney wanting to hug him for saving her life as well as her pets, he decided to leave the area as soon as he could to avoid getting so much attention. Scotts Valley Battalion Chief Andrew LoFranco mentioned that had the jogger not assisted Courtney to save her pets from the fire, they would have been dead in about ten minutes since the house would have been destroyed. My feeling is that the jogger will agree to meet with the Polito family in the near future to accept their thanks but in a private setting since it is the way that God would like someone who assisted someone get repaid and not play "Hey look me over."
