Authorities say a passer-by saved two children from a mobile home fire on the south side of Fremont.
Fremont Rural Fire Department officials said firetrucks were dispatched about 7:55 p.m. Monday but that the home was completely ablaze when the trucks arrived.
Chief Carl Nielsen says a motorist on nearby U.S. Highway 77
noticed the smoke and went to investigate. Nielsen says that when
the woman got to the home, she pulled a 1-year-old infant and a
3-year-old child from the burning home.
Nielsen says the children likely would not have survived without
the woman's help.
Her name was not immediately available.
