SALEM, VIRGINIA -- Elders Justin Hansen of Alberta, Canada and David Bergesen of Tempe, Arizona, were walking by a house in Salem, Virginia when they saw two men dragging Kenneth Lugar from his burning house on Thursday, December 9th. The missionaries helped carry the man to the front yard.

Lugar had collapsed just inside the door to his house after a kitchen fire had broken out. His dog, a terrier named Bingo, was also unconscious and was rescued by Firefighters, who soon arrived. Both Lugar and his dog are expected to recover from smoke inhalation.
