DOTHAN, Ala. -A hero in Enterprise is responsible for saving two women from a house fire Sunday, September 4.Neighbor, Marvin Pinckney, was pulling up to his own home when he saw flames and smoke coming from the back of the garage
Enterprise Fire Chief, Christopher Davis, said the two women in the house were completely unaware they were in danger until Pinckney rescued them. He pulled homeowner, Mary Hatcher Griffin, and her caretaker out to safety through a window, as all the doors had been engulfed in smoke and flames.The cause of the fire is still currently under investigation. Chief Davis tells News4 that they do not suspect any possibility of foul play.
“He could have called 9-1-1, left it at that and done his civic duty,” said Davis. “I am not recommending people run into a burning building without protective gear, but if he had not done what he did, it is very likely that they would not have made it out. So, he is absolutely a hero, he did a great job.”Griffin’s caretaker was discharged from the hospital Sunday evening. As of September 6, Griffin was still in the hospital for observation, but doing well.
