Story One: A Burning House
Marcos Ugarte, a 14-year old high school freshman from Troutdale, Oregan, had been at home with his dad when they heard furious screaming coming from outside. A house, only 4 doors down, was on fire and there was a 7-year old boy named Cody trapped inside. According to Marcos’s dad, “When I arrived at the door of our neighbor’s house, he [neighbor] was stumbling down the stairs because he had been completely engulfed in flames. He had soot coming out of nose and his mouth, he had just ingested so much of it.”
