Some are left homeless after a grass fire made its way into a Balch Springs neighborhood.
"I was driving on I-20 and saw the smoke on the side of the Fox Gas Station," Chris McJimson said.
He said he watched as flames started heading towards the neighborhood nearby where his mom lives, so he stepped on the gas. "I just went into superhero mode and decided to beat on everybody's door and tell them they had less than three minutes to get out of their house." "It jumped in just a matter of seconds and then everything went completely dark," Ford said."I couldn't see anything from the smoke that was all over here. I could barely see my hand in front of my face and I started choking.
She was able to grab her water hose and just started spraying, luckily, putting out the fire before it reached her home."They said pretty much everything is gone," said Rachel Ryan, who lost her home."I'm just thankful that we weren't home.""Houses can be replaced. Items can be replaced. Lives can't," Ryan said."I'm blessed that everybody else is safe but what we need to do is come together and help this community," McJimson said.
