It's an incredible story.

So Booker was coming home one night with a couple members of his security detail.

And when they got close to his house, they discovered that the home of the neighbor next door was on fire.

Smoke was pouring through the windows and Booker's neighbor, whose name was Jacqueline Williams, was outside in the yard screaming that her daughter was still trapped inside the house on the second floor.

And what Booker said later is exactly what many, many heroic rescuers say, is that he acted without even thinking.

He jumped out of the car, he ran across the yard and started to run into the house with one of his security detail running right behind him.

And, of course, once he got into the door, he discovered that the air was full of smoke, and he could see hardly anything as he's gasping and choking his way up to the kitchen on the second floor.

Once they got there, they discovered that there were flames everywhere, going up the walls, across the ceiling.

They could hear little explosions, and the security detail, whose name was Rodriguez,

He was like, I've had enough.

We're not going any further.

He tried to get Booker to leave the house without rescuing his neighbor's daughter.

Booker refused.

They wrestled for a little bit.

Booker said, you know, you have to let me go in.

If I don't go in, she's going to die.

And so he, the detective said, okay.

And Booker plunged into the house, fought his way through the smoke into the bedroom where his neighbor's daughter was barely conscious.

flung her over his shoulder and staggered back through the kitchen, which was engulfed in flames at this point.

Burning embers are raining down on him.
