Father Saves His Twin Baby Girls From House Fire, Suffers Severe Burns

Not All Heroes Wear Capes

A father risked his life to save his twin baby girls. Ray Lucas and his girlfriend stepped out the house for a quick second to go to the gas station on the corner. When they returned, they were left in horror as the house was on fire.

“The house was engulfed in smoke, I saw my mom and my niece were standing at the door and they were frantic,” Lucas said.

What Ray didn’t see was his twin baby girls, who were down in the basement asleep. “I just knew I had to get my babies out,” he said. “That’s what went through my mind.”

Lucas ended up rushing inside and saving his daughters.

“You really couldn’t see your hand in front of your face – I really only found my babies due to my memory, just knowing where they were and knowing how to get to them – just from having that same route.”
Lucas’ injuries were severe.

“I was temporarily blind for three days and they said it was a miracle I could see,” he said. “I’ve got burns on my arms, but for the most part, everyone is still here.”
