Pennsauken Father Calling Toddler Son A 'Hero' After Blaze Breaks Out Inside Home
PENNSAUKEN, NJ (CBS) – A New Jersey father is calling his son a hero for saving both their lives after a fire broke out inside their Pennsauken home.
The blaze started on the 2300 block of Finlaw Avenue around 3 p.m. Sunday.
Alex Sanchez says he was asleep while his son was watching television. His son woke him up, and that's when he noticed smoke and flames.
"I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for my son," Sanchez says. "If he wouldn't have woke us up, who knows? We were right in the back room, right where the fire happened."
No one was injured in the fire, but Sanchez says most of their belongings were destroyed in the fire.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
