A Pye County couple is alive today, thanks to a Kentucky State trooper who risked his life to run into a burning home to save them. Just after 1 a.m. last Sunday morning, trooper Corey Charles was in the belfry area when he heard the call of a house fire just 5 minutes away. He was the first to arrive. The original caller was standing outside and I could see another female in the home because the door was open and she was back lit by the fire behind her. Started yelling at her to come out and she couldn't hear me. So I went in probably 10, 15 feet and grabbed her by the arm and got her out. But that's when things went from bad to worse. I asked her if anybody else was in the house and she said, yeah, my husband's asleep in the back farthest bedroom. The fire department hadn't arrived yet and trooper Charles made the decision to go back in. I crawled to stay under the smoke because like I said, it was two-thirds down and you couldn't see anything without your flashlight. So I shot my flashlight and the only thing I seen, once I did crawl through the hall and got to the back bedroom where she told me he was, was his feet on the bed. I screamed at him a couple times in between trying to breathe and he never acknowledged me so I just grabbed his feet and I jerked him off the bed and I drug him through the hall into the foyer and I stood him up and we went outside. As soon as they were all safe, the fire department arrived. They were able to save the exterior of the home but trooper Charles was the true hero that night. But he says he was just doing the job he signed up for. If I can, you know, I'd like to help anybody just like any other trooper at post nine would. You know, I didn't do anything that any other trooper here wouldn't have done the way I was just putting her out spot throughout time. I was glad I was there.
