We have an update on a Westfield family that lost all, but each other in an overnight fire and the young man credited with getting everyone out.
At just 11 years old, David Masso sprung into action as the flames spread. When the Western Mass News Surprise Squad and the Hyundai Dealers of Western Massachusetts learned of his actions and loss, we knew we had to pay him a visit.
February 4 was a typical weeknight for the Masso family.
“I came home from work, took a shower, didn't smell anything,” said Miriam Masso.
However, shortly after midnight, things took a drastic turn when Miriam Masso was awoken by a faint alarm.
“…Then I heard a crash. I went to see if the dog got out of the cage…the ceiling fan was on the ground and the ceiling was engulfed in flames,” Masso explained.
