Quick-thinking Pennsylvania teen uses a trampoline to save several neighbors from burning apartment building
A Pennsylvania teen is being applauded for his quick action, helping deploy a nearby trampoline to allow neighbors to escape an overnight apartment fire early Tuesday morning near Pittsburgh.
Shortly after a fire broke out around 1 a.m. in his Bentleyville apartment building, 17-year-old Falon O'Regan jumped from a window and sprang into action to help his neighbors escape the blaze,“Me and Robert, my neighbor downstairs, had to move the trampoline from the side of the house to the three bedrooms on the last part of the house, because they would've gotten hurt if we didn't,” O’Regan told the station.
Neighbors said they were uneasy about the jump, but took the plunge knowing they didn't have much of a choice.Download NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth
