British Tourists Brave Burning House

Brits to the rescue of paralysed woman!

British Tourist Christine Brittain did not thing that her trip to the Sunshine state to shop, sightsee and visit Epcot would turn out like this.

Whilst poolside at her friends vacation home she heard screams from the neighbouring property. Brittain, her son and fellow Brits Maureen and Barry White charged into the burning house as they saved 57 yr old Clarilia Mondesir, a paralysed woman who has suffered cancer and a stroke. The Brits helped the woman out of the house and managed to grab some photos so they wouldnt be lost in the blaze.

Investigators think that an 8yr old nephew was playing with matches in his room and accidentally dropped a lit match onto his bedding. Jack Fillman, Assistant Chief for Lake County Fire and Rescue said "He panicked probably and dragged the burning blanked, leaving a trail of fire as he went running through the house"
