CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — At least two neighbors pitched in during a house fire in Clarksville Saturday afternoon to save two dogs trapped inside the home.
Trey Boling and Alex Wilkinson first saw the flames pouring from the home on Superior Drive.
Hearing the yelps of two dogs inside, the two smashed through a window and climbed in, letting the two trapped dogs, Yaji and Draco, out, and then checking other rooms to make sure nobody else was inside.
Other than the dogs, no one else was there at the time.
"I'll do the same thing I want other people to do for me," Boling said. "If my house is burning down, God forbid, and I have dogs in the house, I want Alex kicking in my door, I want my dogs out of there."
One firefighter was sent to the hospital with minor injuries after helping to fight the house fire.
Teams from Station 18 successfully fought back the inferno before it spread to other properties in the East Montgomery neighborhood.
The firefighter who was injured is expected to make a full recovery.
The family who lived in the home has created a GoFundMe page for donations.
