LIBERTY, Ind. — A mail carrier and neighbors helped two people escape a house fire near the Indiana and Ohio border Friday.
USPS postal worker Annette Smith drives past this home on her mail route. When she was driving past today, there was smoke pouring from the house.
One of the neighbors suggested Smith should drive her truck up to the house, and let the woman stuck on the second story jump down onto it.
“I literally just used my mail truck to let a lady jump from the top story of this house to save her life,” Smith said. “She can’t see us, we can’t hardly see her. So I back up and the next thing I know I hear a thud on the top of the mail truck to know she safely got out.”
News Center 7 is looking into the condition of the woman who escaped the fire and reaching out to local fire departments for information on their investigation.
