The father of two young children is in the University of Tennessee Medical Center recovering from severe burns after he tried to put out a fire on his trailer’s wooden deck. Late last week, the occupants in the house heard a popping sound outside. The man went outside to investigate, only to find a fire had started right outside his door.

He tried to put out the fire by stomping on it, but ended up burning the top half of his body. His wife and their children, as well as two neighbors and their children, were all able to escape unharmed. Police are currently investigating the cause of the fire.
