NOBLESVILLE, Ind. (WISH) — A Noblesville man risked his life to save his neighbor when their apartment complex went up in flames.
Duaine Davis said as he was rushing to get out, he learned his neighbor across the hall was trapped inside.
He immediately grabbed the handle, but the door was locked. At the same time, he felt his neighbor trying to open the door.
Davis said he eventually used his body to knock it down.
“As soon as I popped the door, I could see his ankles and he was behind the door, so I was trying to talk him into rolling over to where I could just drag him and then I saw nothing but black smoke and then I felt the fire,” said Davis.
