Man Badly Burned Rushing Back into Blazing Building to Save Niece: 'I'd Do It Again'
A man in Washington state who was badly burned after running into a burning house to rescue his 8-year-old niece says he'd do it again in a heartbeat.
"Even though I got burnt, I really didn't care though," Derrick Byrds told Komo News. "I'd rather get burnt than her. She's young. She's still got a lot of stuff going for her. She's a good kid."
Byrd suffered second- and third-degree burns saving his niece, Mercedes, after a blaze broke out at the family's home in Aberdeen Thursday morning.
