Mildred Pugh was heading to the grocery store in Goliad, Texas.
You're driving with a friend, and you see something.
We see smoke, and the closer that we get to the smoke, then we realize that there's a house on fire.
In front of the burning house, a child.
I looked out, and I saw a little boy, and all he had on was his underwear.
Mildred jumped out of the car and ran over to help.
And the little boy said, my mommy's in that house.
That little boy was John Michael Burdett, just six years old.
He'd awoken moments before to a terrible sound.
His mother, 31-year-old Patricia Lee Mills, was in the next bedroom.
And were you screaming anything back to her?
The living room was engulfed in flames, blocking the front door.
There was some quick thinking that was going to happen here.
