      Gertrude Thomas, escaped the structure and according to her sister Marie Samuels, Gertrude had attempted to reach a firefighter who lived down the street from the Thomas home. “He said it was too late by the time he got to the home, & couldn’t even get in the home,” Samuels said.

     Gertrude suffered minor burns to her leg and the couple’s car was also incinerated as a result of the fire.

   Judy Knox, Gertrude's next door neighbor, watched from her patio as the house being engulfed in what she described as flames nearly six feet tall. “I stood there with my mouth open because it was just awful,” Knox said. “Even the tree caught on fire.”
