Alfreshia Thibeaux is a young lady who is very thankful that a St. Landry Parish Fire District volunteer firefighter named Connor Manuel was at the right place at the right time on Tuesday in Lafayette Louisiana.
Alfreshia who is 6.5 months pregnant was driving her auto on Interstate 10 East when she heard some noises inside her auto that alerted her to get off of the road to the shoulder so she could call her fiancé to inform him that she needed help.
Connor who happened to be nearby saw something that Alfreshia could not see since she was inside her auto. Underneath the hood of her auto, a fire started which Connor was able to get Alfreshia’s attention that her life was in grave danger if she did not get out of her auto fast.
Alfreshia had to get out of her auto via the passenger side since the traffic on the interstate was blocking her from getting out of the drivers side of her auto.
What happened next would like a television or movie scene when an auto would go up in flames after a driver or passenger managed to leave the burning auto in the nick of time. Only this was a real life incident.
Alfreshia calls Connor her “hero” for being there to warn her to get out of her auto that went up in flames seconds after she managed to leave the danger zone.
Connor was rewarded by Alfreshia by having a cookie cake for being what she calls her Guardian Angel on that fateful day in Lafayette Louisiana.
Better to try and fail then wonder if we would have tried to follow our desires.
we need to start teaching critical thinking and situational awareness in grade school
That is very true since when I went to school in the former Canal Zone in Panama, there was no first aid classes at that time in the 1970s.
first aid would also be a good class
I am with you on that point since kids today have knowledge of assisting people in need these days thanks to the courses on first aid taught in schools today.
it might be a bad idea, but we don’t know until we try
What a great story again, thank you!
It is great to know that a volunteer firefighter from Eunice Louisiana saves a woman who is expecting a baby from suffering a fiery ending in an auto accident in Lafayette Louisiana.
There are those who run tot he flames. Let us call them heroes!
That is very true Doc. A real hero risks his or her life to save others without any expectation of a reward at that point in time.
Every day you get acquainted with heroic acts, you do not cheat on your subject. I like that your persistence.
Thank you for your kind comments Lacho59.
