CLAYTON COUNTY, Ga. — A local woman is hailing Clayton County firefighters after they saved her from her burning home.
Flames and thick smoke quickly spread through the house, trapping Nicole Ramey in her bathroom.
In his 34 years as a firefighter in East Point, Ramey’s husband William has never seen the devastation of a house fire from this perspective.
“Like everybody else, you're always thinking, 'It will never happen to me,'” William Ramey said.
But his home on Blackfoot Trail in Clayton County was ravaged by a fire Friday that also nearly claimed his wife, Nicole.
She works as a paramedic and firefighters say her quick thinking saved her life after she awoke to the smell of smoke.
