Daniel Williams walked to a nearby 7-Eleven this morning for a cup of coffee, and finally breathed a sign of relief. Several hours earlier, he had climbed partially into the window of a burning home and saved a 7-year-old girl from a fire in the County View Mobile Home park, on Spartan Drive near the corner of Euclid Road and Holland Drive. He wasn't able to get into the fire-engulfed structure to save the two other young children while their mother screamed nearby that her babies were inside. He was happy because he had just gotten a call from the woman saying that her 5-year-old son and 2-year-old daughter were going to live. All three children had been taken to the Children's Hospital for the King's Daughters.
