GAINESBORO, Tenn. — A Middle Tennessee emergency medical services director who risked his life to save a woman from a burning home said he didn’t think twice about running inside despite not having protective gear.
Jackson County EMS Director Keith Bean also serves as a volunteer firefighter, so when he stood outside Phyllis Stafford’s burning home and heard her scream, he broke all of his own safety rules to try and save a life. “When we opened the door, the smoke was black and it was almost to the floor,” Bean said.
Bean had no firefighter gear, so going into that house was a huge risk. Nevertheless, he got on his hands and knees and started crawling. “Didn’t really cross my mind not to. Probably should have thought about it some more without any gear,” he said.
