Teacher saves the day after virtual class interrupted by fire
BROCKTON, Massachusetts (WBZ ) A quick-thinking Brockton teacher is being credited for helping get fire crews to a student’s home during an emergency.
“My student, Teresa, is saying ‘my fire alarm is going off, my fire alarm is going off,’’ said teacher Betsy Doyle.
Doyle tells WBZ-TV that’s when she knew something was wrong. The 23-year veteran educator had just resumed her virtual lesson after a lunch break Friday.
“I said do you smell smoke? Do you see any fire? And she said that she smelled smoke. And I said get everyone out of the house,” Doyle said.
