(wbtv) – A disabled man was saved from his burning home in Lincoln County Monday morning, thanks to a deputy.
The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office says deputy Seth Hovis was on his way to work around 5:50 a.m. when he heard a call come out about a house fire on Killian Road.
When Hovis arrived, a woman outside told the officer her disabled husband was inside the home and she was unable to get him out.
“Deputy Hovis rushed inside the residence, located the 73-year-old disabled man in his wheelchair and carried him down a flight of outside steps to safety.”
Hovis then moved the couple’s vehicles away from the burning home, which deputies say was engulfed in flames by the time firefighters arrived.
