Her father was working on an old GMC truck in the garage when a jack he was using slipped.
"The minute the jack slipped, there was an almost instantaneous, real strong smell of gasoline, and then just, whoosh!" he recalled. Within seconds, he was pinned beneath the huge vehicle and the garage had caught fire.
(nothing about this caused the reporter to engage their brain and ask what started a fire, why gas was leaking, and where the open flame was that started the fire)
He struggled for 10 minutes when a door opened and his daughter ran in, lifted the truck off him, and got the track away from the burning garage to prevent it's gas tank from adding to the fire.
Her grandmother and 3 month old niece were inside the home, that she was hosing down with the garden hose when the fire dept arrived
