Family reunites with neighbor who saved them from house explosion

A neighbor saved a great-grandmother and her two great-grandchildren from a large Forest Park house fire Thursday evening, Fire Chief Alfie Jones said. Multiple fire units responded to the house fire along Riga Court around 6:30 p.m. Jones said there were three residents — a great-grandmother and her two great-grandchildren — in the home, but a neighbor saved them causing no one to be injured. D’Anta Hudson, the neighbor responsible, said he was surprised to be able to get them out.
