Wyly said she knew her neighbor’s brother was in a wheelchair and was in the home alone. She pulled the man from the home, and he was taken to the hospital.

“A mother’s instinct, of course. But by it being a neighbor, it’s a normal reaction – helping, saving people,” Wyly said.

Investigators are working to figure out the cause of the fire.

Thanks to the Red Cross, the family of four who lived in the home is now staying in a hotel.
