Dean Hapner who is a resident of Elkhart Indiana insists that he is not a hero at all after he was on his way home from work on Wednesday night, Dean received a doorbell notifications about some noises in his neighborhood that caught his attention.
Dean saw that his neighbor's home was on fire where a 79 year old lady was inside of her home trapped since she could hardly walk.
Dean saw his neighbor down by the door who would have surely perished had Dean not assisted her to get out of harm's way.
An oxygen tank that was owned by the senior lady exploded shortly Then another oxygen talk exploded, the explosion did destroy the home of the elderly woman by the time the Osolo Township firefighters arrived to put out the fire.
The fire victim was taken by an ambulance to Elkhart General Hospital to be treated for injuries suffered in the accident.
The elderly lady is currently in good condition thanks to the efforts of Dean taking the rescuing her.
The sad part of this fire is that she will need a new home to live in.

I hope so as well that Dean did risk his life to assist her. I believe she has some insurance to help her rebuild her home.

@Deepizzaguy That’s a terrible loss. Homes are expensive.

Loss of a home is a bad deal to go through.

You are right that even though the fire victim lost her house, she is alive and can get help rebuilding a home.

That is true that Dean saving the life of the elderly lady was great even though she is likely to be homeless for a short period of time.
