The firefighters received a call for the fire at about 11am on Monday on the 1300 block of Avenue N. Valencia. Two people managed to escape from the flame, but Alise, who is special needs, was trapped.

“My daughter is non -verbal and I remembered that I called her name,” Elizabeth said.

After learning that someone had been trapped in the burning home, firefighters moved through thick plum smoke in an attempt to find Alise.

“My crew and I immediately entered the structure and pressed the corridor,” said Captain Nick Turner of the San Bernardino County Fire Service. “We had strong smoke and warmth and fire that were blowing from above.”

After the brave act of heroism from firefighters, tear Elizabeth had a message to the team that saved her daughter – “Thank you very much.”
