A Wisconsin woman is alive today thanks to her caring and brave neighbor.
Kelly Brault was fast asleep and had no idea that her house was up in flames. Thankfully, her neighbor, Julieann Sikinger, ran over to the frightening scene.
Sikinger didn’t run into the home, like a retired firefighter memorably did in Ohio, but she still made sure her neighbor got out in time.
“I just kept pounding. I must have been pounding, oh my gosh, it seemed like forever, for a good minute,” Sikinger told local news station WISN. “Next thing I know, she opens up the door, and I'm screaming, ‘Fire, 911, we're getting out of here now!’”
Although many of the Brault family’s keepsakes are gone forever, they are grateful that their daughter made it out without any injuries.
“I'm so lucky that my neighbor woke me up, and she was very persistent,” Kelly said.
Yet, Sikinger believes she was simply “helping a neighbor in a time of need.”
“It's still very emotional for me, and it's tough,” she added.
Kelly’s mom, Mary Brault, was also emotional while speaking about her neighbor’s concern, as you’ll see in the video below.
