Georgia passerby saves man from burning home by kicking down storm door

A Georgia homeowner has recounted how a quick-thinking passerby saved him from his burning home last month by kicking down a locked storm door to pull him to safety.

David McConnell told FOX5 Atlanta that he was taking a nap in his Winterville home on the afternoon of Oct. 29 when a noise from the kitchen woke him up.

"I heard some popping and snapping and crackling," McConnell said, adding that he went back to sleep thinking the sound would go away.

McConnell only realized something was wrong when the fire alarm went off.
