WEST JORDAN, Utah (ABC4) — One woman who witnessed the West Jordan house fire that killed 3 people and sent another to the hospital described the moment that her boyfriend ran to rescue the only survivor of the fire, a child. She said that the child was burned “head to toe”, but that her boyfriend doesn’t consider himself a hero.
That rescue was caught on video, as her boyfriend, Asher, makes the decision to jump out of his vehicle and run toward the home engulfed in flames to help what appears to be a child in the backyard trying to get out.
Lucy Hunt is the other person in that video who continued recording after he left the car and jumped over the fence into the backyard. She spoke to ABC4.com, describing the scene and Asher’s actions.
While police have not confirmed, Hunt stated that the child was the fourth individual who was life flighted to the hospital in critical condition.
