“I just start banging on the floor, banging on the floor, ‘Is anybody here? Is anybody here? Answer! Call out!’'
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Katie Hickman was driving in an East Anchorage neighborhood on Tuesday, using a maps application on her phone to pick up an item being donated to her, when she spotted a house on fire.The Anchorage resident said if it wasn’t for the traffic light turning red in the moments before spotting the house, she would have never turned down Mink Avenue and seen it.
“Her hair was burnt off, her face was blackened, she definitely had some trouble breathing — she had to have been in there for quite a bit, maybe I even woke her up? I don’t know,” Hickman said.. Hickman said she initially refused medical treatment, even though she did inhale some smoke and has asthma, saying she had to check on her kids. She eventually was given a precautionary check.“I think the fire chief called and he told me the dog made it,” Hickman said.
“I’m just really appreciative, if it wasn’t for the ‘buy nothing’ group, I literally wouldn’t have been there. Just wouldn’t have been there,” Hickman said. “So a cat tunnel saved a person’s life is my way of seeing it.”
