"My first instinct was to jump out and help. No matter who it was."
Heroes
Kevin Arlinghaus was at home watching television when he smelled smoke.
“It didn’t smell like a barbecue. It smelled like burning plastic,” he said.
Kevin — who works for Best Buy subsidiary GreatCall — went outside to investigate and soon discovered a fire in a nearby garage at his townhome community in Carlsbad, California. Within minutes, the garage was fully engulfed in flames.
Kevin is now being hailed as a hero after calling 911 and helping save a 93-year-old woman and her adult grandson.
Ethan Kimmel and Nick Potter performed the Heimlich maneuver and stayed with the man until paramedics arrived.
The last time they saw one another, the Agents were saving the woman from a fiery crash on the back roads of southwestern Virginia.
