When Weatherford resident David DeGraff finished up his garage sale browsing on Jan. 29, he never thought his day would turn into a rescue mission.
DeGraff was traveling on Upper Denton Road at around 10 a.m. when he noticed smoke showing from a home.
âIt was white/grey and I didnât really think anything about it at first â I just assumed someone was burning,â he said. âThen it just instantly turned pitch black and got really, really big, so I pulled over.â
DeGraff parked his vehicle and began walking towards the home when he noticed a woman was also on the property on her phone. The woman told DeGraff she was calling 911.
