They did everything that they could do. They did a heck of a job. You couldn&#8217;t ask for a better job than what they did.&#8221; Millie Kindrix, 51, who is the aunt of Prince&#8217;s wife, Holly, was the woman rescued from the burning home Monday morning. Goldbug Volunteer Fire Chief Brandon Woods, who is also Whitley County EMS Assistant Director, and Whitley County EMS Director Kelly Harrison were the first two emergency responders on the scene. Woods was the person who pulled Kindrix from the home. &#8220;I think we saved her life,&#8221; said Whitley County EMS Director Kelly Harrison. &#8220;I think Brandon was a hero. I am proud of him. I am glad I was there to help. I am just glad that we were able to get her out.&#8221; Steve Prince said that Kindrix had been suffering from some sickness prior to the fire and his wife had already planned to take her to the doctor Monday if she didn&#8217;t start feeling better. Steve Prince said his wife was sitting outside working on her Sunday school lesson when she heard some noise inside, discovered the fire and called 911 about 9:56 a.m. Harrison said there was an EMS crew at the station when the fire was reported at 676 Lloyd Wilson Road in the Cripple Creek community. When Woods heard where the fire was, Harrison said she and Woods knew it wasn&#8217;t far away, hopped in a vehicle and headed that way with an ambulance close behind. She estimated that they arrived on the scene about 10 minutes later. There was heavy black smoke coming out of the rear of the building when they arrived. Harrison said they were met by a Holly Prince, who told them that her aunt with Down&#8217;s Syndrome was still inside and unable to walk. &#8220;We tried to go in the front door and couldn&#8217;t get through the front door. There was too much smoke,&#8221; Woods said. Harrison and Woods then went around to the side of the house and busted out a window where they thought the victim was, but it was the wrong room. Then they went towards the rear of the home and busted out the window in the victim&#8217;s bedroom. &#8220;As soon as we busted that window we just got smoke all over us,&#8221; Harrison said. Once some of the smoke cleared, Woods said he was able to see the victim, took a deep breath and went inside to pull her out. &#8220;You don&#8217;t want to breathe that stuff. I just took a deep breath. Luckily I didn&#8217;t have to go far in and she was a little woman so I was able to pull her out fairly easily,&#8221; Woods noted. Once they got Kindrix out of the home and on the ground, paramedic Steve Hartley, EMT Sarah Jones and firefighter John Helton joined Woods and Harrison working on Kindrix and administering oxygen. Whitley County EMS transported Kindrix to Baptist Health Corbin for treatment. She was later flown out by emergency medical helicopter to a larger facility for additional treatment. Various emergency officials said that they didn&#8217;t know where she was taken after she left the Corbin hospital. Woods said that the victim was in real danger when he and Harrison found her. The fire was in a storage room adjacent to her bedroom and her bedroom was full of smoke. &#8220;She was unable to get out herself. We found her in her in her bedroom laying in the floor next to her bed,&#8221; Woods said. &#8220;She is very lucky.&#8221; The fire damage was largely contained to the back storage room, but the entire home sustained smoke damage and several windows were broken. The residence received severe damage overall and is considered a total loss. Woods said the fire appeared to have started in a back storage room of the doublewide mobile home with an extension. The Kentucky State Fire Marshal&#8217;s Office is investigating the blaze, but no foul play is suspected. Woods said the fire was accidental but officials aren&#8217;t sure what caused it. About 16 firefighters from Goldbug, Emlyn and Rockholds volunteer fire departments were on the scene for numerous hours. Kentucky State Police, the Whitley County Sheriff&#8217;s Department and Whitley County Emergency Management also assisted at the scene."}
