Chandler family reconnects with hero who saved them from house fire

VIDEO: A stranger rescued a Chandler family from a house fire last Friday and Arizonaโ€™s Family tracked down the humble hero so the family could thank him for his life-saving actions. โ€œGive him a big, tight hug,โ€ said Liliana Quezada to her son. โ€œYouโ€™re so brave, buddy,โ€ said Nick Arreola while holding him. It was a special reunion for Quezada and her little boys when they reconnected with Arreola, the man they say saved their lives.

โ€œHow are you guys doing?โ€ said Arreola. โ€œWeโ€™re still shaken up by everything, we really are. But weโ€™re just grateful to be here,โ€ replied Quezada. Arreola is an emergency room nurse who was driving home from a 12-hour shift when he saw the fire. A neighborโ€™s doorbell camera captured the moments after the daring rescue. โ€œThe flames were higher than the roof,โ€ recalled Arreola. Around 4 a.m. on Friday, Arreola noticed smoke and flames from the road. So he pulled over and banged on the door until the family of five woke up and got out safely.
