Security company employees rescue man from burning home

SHREVEPORT, LA (KSLA) -

A Shreveport man is recovering after a group of employees temporarily ditched their day jobs to pull the man from his burning home.

The four employees noticed flames coming from a home on Lincoln Street around 8:00 Wednesday morning.

First there was smoke, then an explosion of flames came bursting through this home, "saw smoke just billowing black smoke coming out of the front door, said Doug Pierrelee.

The employees right next door at Sentinel Group were loading up their trucks for the work day when their duty switched from securing to saving a life.

"Me and Jason jumped in the vehicle, and took off over there, Galli came up running behind us and jumped over the fence, and he was calling 911 at the same time we were over there," said Pierrelee.

According to Pierrelee the men didn't wait on a fire rescue crew to arrive, they got right to work.

I didn't even see a body and then Jason said there is a body right there in the doorway, then immediately we pulled him on his stomach into the grass says Pierrelee.

Instead of resting, the men approached the flame bound home once more.

"Started yelling for people and we crawled into the house a little bit, it was just saw black and you could hardly breathe, crawled back out and went around the home, asking is anybody home is anybody home, recalls Pierrelee.
