VIDEO: The days can be pretty typical for Rashad Conwell, a word he uses to describe himself. “I’m so quiet and laid back,” Rashad said, who’s been driving for FedEx for eight years. “I just did want anybody else would do.”
But ask anyone in a neighborhood near Lake Wylie and they’d tell you that what Rashad did on Wednesday isn’t ordinary.
“I came to the house, knocked on the door, she thought I was delivering a package. I was like, ‘Mam your house is on fire,’” Rashad said.
He said he then made sure the woman and the child left the home that was quickly catching on fire. It only took a few minutes before the whole back end of the home was engulfed in flames.
“We didn’t grab shoes, we didn’t grab phones, we didn’t grab anything,” said John, who lives at the home.
John said, he was working above the garage that caught on fire. At first, he couldn’t smell anything, but then his wife came in yelling that the house was on fire.
