One woman found the unexpected when she went to investigate a tapping noise she heard coming from her bedroom Tuesday. A man had opened the sliding-glass doors on her back patio, which connects the bedroom of her unit in the Tuscany Bay Apartments complex off S. Semoran Boulevard and Curry Ford Road in Orlando.

When she walked in the bedroom, she saw the man on the patio, performing a sexual act on himself, according to Orlando Police.

The woman quickly locked the patio doors, closed the blinds and called police. Meanwhile, the man remained in the act outside her glass doors "for several minutes before fleeing on foot through the apartment complex," police said.

Police still are searching for the man, who the woman described to be about 20 with "slight" facial hair.

The man first approached the woman around 1 a.m. Tuesday. She was out walking her dogs when he walked up to her with his two dogs.

They had a brief conversation in Spanish before she left and returned to her apartment.

About an hour or so later, the man ended up on her patio.

The wife of a firefighter rescued their three sleeping children Tuesday night from the couples burning home in the Ponderosa neighborhood of Spokane Valley.

Rachelle Flatt noticed flames on the back patio and called 911 just after 9:30 p.m. Flames reached a propane tank attached to the outside grill before she could get her children out of the house.

I was almost to the (front) door when the slider door exploded, she said.

The tanks valve blew open and shattered a set of patio doors and pushed flames into the house, said Fire District 8 Assistant Chief Greg Godfrey.

When Flatt reached the front door with her 3-year-old daughter, she found neighbors there to hand her to. Flatt went back inside for her 15-month-old daughter, then back again for her 6-year-old son. By that time the smoke was so thick the house was pitch black. Carrying her son, Flatt groped her way down the hallway, then fumbled with the front door that had shut behind her when she re-entered the house.

Thats when I really started to panic, she said. I was running out of air.

Her neighbors opened the door to let them out.

SPOKANE VALLEY, Wash.A local mother saved her kids during a deadly house fire near Van Marter and 48th on Tuesday night.

Firefighters said the mother, who is married to a firefighter, was taken to the hospital for burns and smoke inhalation after saving her children. The family dog died in the fire.

Without the heroic efforts of Firefighter Pete Flatts wife (Rachelle) this fire could have been much more tragic, said Assistant Chief Greg Godfrey.

Rochelle Flatt said she put the children down to bed for the night when she noticed flames on the back patio. She called 911 and as she turned to get her kids, she heard a loud noise. The relief valve on the BBQ propane tank exploded and shattered the patio doors, according to officials.

The fire and heavy smoke came straight into the house as Flatt removed their oldest child to the front yard and then re-entered the house to rescue the other child and baby.

The smoke and heat were intense as Flatts wife was exiting the house with the baby. She received minor burns to her ears, singed hair and severe smoke inhalation.
