Rick Edwards who is the son of 101 year old woman Ann Edwards is grateful that a United Parcel Service (UPS) delivery driver who did not give you his name was in the neighborhood in Santa Ana California on Thursday January 15 when he entered a condo where Ann who lives by herself was not able to leave her burning home was confused and reluctant to leave to get her out of harm's way.
Neighbors who saw the fire coming from the house tried to get Ann's attention by knocking on her door while another neighbor climbed a ladder and sprayed water into the kitchen where the fire started in an attempt to put out the fire.
The UPS driver answered the call to rescue Ann before the firefighters of the Orange County Fire Authority arrived to put out the fire.
Ann is currently in a hospital recovering from her experience being in the fire. The good news is that she is expected to make a full recovery.

That is a good rescue, with the old lady expected to recover fully, and people pulling together to help in the rescue too.

You are right that when people work together to assist someone in need, we all prosper.
