Debbie went inside and called 911. When she came out she found George Woodard and John Anderson had also stopped to help. They managed to attached chains to the burning Jeep and looped the other end to a pick up truck. They then dragged the Jeep about 40 feet away from the house so it would not catch fire.
A unit from Rappahannock Volunteer Fire Department arrived but they had been fighting field fires and found they were out of water in the linker. They filled up with water from Debbie’s pond, but that took about 10 to 12 minutes.
Meanwhile, Debbie’s Good Samaritans were jpined by another, Peggy Woodward, who called Amissville Fire Department.
But, the small band of heroes had managed to put the fire out with Debbie’s garden hose.
“It was about through burning by that time I think,” Debbie said. “It probably lasted about 30 minutes.”
“These guys are three regular guys who did an extraordinary thing. They’re real heroes. They risked their lives to help. They were extremely, extremely brave,” Debbie said.
The fire department applied more water (from the freshly-filled tanker) all around the house and yard where the Jeep had been parked. They hosed down everything to make sure nothing caught fire again.
But, it was the three men who really saved the day this time. They prevented a disaster in the making.
“If it wasn’t for them I wouldn’t have a house and my animals would have been killed,” Debbie said. “The wind was blowing that day and I’m sure I would have lost my house and animals.”
Debbie said the insurance company is investigating the cause of the fire and thinks it may have been due to the carburetor, which she had had fixed a week prior to the fire.
