Fire Rescue
From CAROLINIAN Staff Reports
A six-year-old responded quickly
and saved the life of his sister when a
fire started in the house in which he
lived.
The house was located on Watkins
Road, which runs off Old Milburnie
Road on 64 East, next to Jones Store.
According to Clyde Hedgepeth, a tax
icab driver who drives the youth to
school, the mother of the children had
stepped out of the house to visit her
mother’s trailer and the father had
gone to the store.
After leaving the store, the father
noticed a ball of smoke coming from
the house and went running to save
his children. His six-year-old son, An
thony Hinton, had their one-year-old
daughter, Claudette, by the arm and
was coming around the house.
Hedgepeth said that everything in
the house was lost, including the son’s
pet rabbit and puppies, and the fami
ly escaped with only the clothes on
their backs.
Anthony Hinton attends school at
Garner Elementary School and is
considered a hero.
In an effort to help, drivers of
Associated Cab Co. are making and
collecting donations and food for the
family. Much more is needed. All
their belongings were destroyed. Peo

family should call Clyde Hedgepeth
