VIDEO: He was afraid he would break his legs. Those were the thoughts of a 7-year-old Dubuque boy as he jumped out the window of his burning home. That fire happened Tuesday afternoon in 2700 block of Jackson Street. On Tuesday afternoon, Latoya Marxson was making lunch for her son, Catonious,7, when she says she got an important phone call and left the kitchen. "I guess the pot got too hot while I was out of the room. Once the smoke detectors were going off, I came out and discovered smoke in the kitchen. I realized I couldn't get through,” said Latoya.
