A group of good Samaritans came to the rescue to save a woman and her son after their home on West 32 nd Street caught on fire Monday afternoon in Cleveland.
“We saw this woman screaming, so we stopped thinking she needed help, but she said the house was on fire,” said Ralph, who helped save the family from the burning home.
A blistering cloud of smoke emerged from this home on West 32 nd Street in Cleveland Monday afternoon, leaving the block shut down for hours and causing neighbors like Ralph, who didn’t want to share his last name, to spring into action.
“All I did was tell the woman to jump. Otherwise, she was going to be burned,” said Ralph.
Meanwhile, three other men, including Ralph’s friend and Said Daas, stood at the bottom to catch Amanda from the burning home.
“I told her to jump. She said, ‘I’m scared.’ I told her, ‘jump. You’re staying alive,’” said Daas.
Eventually, Amanda did gain enough courage to jump from the home’s second floor, thanks to the group of good samaritans stepping in to save her and her son’s life.
