Okay, next up, we're in Baytown, Texas, outside of Houston. It's March 2019, and Harris County Sheriff's Deputy Roberto Martinez responded to a fire at a trailer home in the middle of the night. A 63-year-old woman was trapped inside. Ma'am, can you hear me? Where are you? There's your furniture right there.

Starting point is 00:07:58 when they realized a nine-year-old boy was still inside the burning home. Heavy smoke made finding the boy through a broken window nearly impossible. Who else is inside the house? There's a kid. Where's he at in the house? Owen! Where's he at? In this bedroom!
Starting point is 00:08:23 Owen! Oh, Father John, please! Where did you just break that window with? Right here. Owen! Watch your face. Owens! Oh!

Okay, so the deputy is having no luck finding the nine-year-old in the dark smoke. He starts to choke, and he tries to find another way into the home before returning to the front window. Hey, is there another way to get to that bedroom that's not on fire?
Starting point is 00:10:13 Man. I got that hand on. You're a . Parson with them. Hey, whose house is it? It's not. All right, guide you to that room. Go up.
