London Sifuentes was released from the hospital Jan. 10 after spending days in a coma and suffering from burns, but she has no home to recover in because the fire that injured her destroyed the family home on Incredible Court Wednesday, Jan. 3.
“My daughter screamed for me when I was asleep in the bedroom and I had just seen the recliner on fire,” Sifuentes said. “I knew that two of my kids were up front, waiting on the porch, but I ran back in trying to look for my youngest one, yelling her name and I could not find her, one of the rooms was locked so I ran back out to break a window and that is when all the fire pressure burst in my face.”
Sifuentes said even after being scorched by flames, cut from flying glass and breathing in smoke she could not stop until she found her baby.
“I ran back around and came inside after I heard my oldest yell ‘I found her,'” she said. “So, I grab my 2-year-old daughter and I yell at everyone to run across the street as far as they can get.”
Sifuentes said all she could think of was getting as far away as possible, fearing a gas tank would cause the home to explode. Once across the street Sifuentes said she collapsed from exhaustion.
