BREAKING: In a dramatic rescue, a group of teenage boys saved two dogs from a burning home in Utah as a fast-moving fire engulfed two houses. The fire erupted suddenly at approximately 4:00 PM on July 15, 2023, sending thick smoke billowing into the neighborhood.
Eyewitness reports confirm the teenagers, living just a few houses away, immediately sprang into action. “Without a second thought, we just jumped the fence,” one teen recounted. The group rushed towards the flames, where chaos ensued. “When we got down there, the propane tanks exploded,” another teen recalled, adding urgency to the already dire situation.
As they approached the neighboring house, the teens noticed a truck in the driveway but no occupants emerging. “Our first thought was, ‘Oh crap, somebody is in there’,” one boy stated. Captured on a Ring doorbell camera, the footage shows the teens pounding frantically on the door. Peering through the window, they spotted a dog trapped inside.
