HORRY COUNTY, SC (WMBF) – A Horry County mail carrier delivered a life-saving service on Monday afternoon.
Noah Wygal was delivering mail at a condo complex when he heard cries for help and saw smoke.
He said instinct kicked in, he dropped what he was doing, and ran toward the scene.
After running up three flights of stairs, Wygal said he and another man helped put out a condo fire with gallons of water as they awaited the fire department’s arrival.
“It wasn’t on my bingo card for the day,” said Wygal, who has worked with USPS for over two years.
With his and Terrence McKenzie’s help, the fire did not spread to the other condos.
“I’m just so grateful that me and the other gentleman was there to be able to assist because who knows what would have happened otherwise,” Wygal said.
And this act is something they say they would hope the community would also do for a stranger.
