An East Texas woman is alive tonight, thanks to her neighbors. Naples resident, Charlene Craig is recovering in a Dallas hospital after her Cedar Street home was destroyed by fire. Her neighbor, Jamie Tuck, heard what she calls popping sounds and saw the flames from her bedroom window. Tuck says she could only focus on one thing, getting Ms. Craig to safety. "We just did what needed to be done, we just got her out and away from the house, that is all I was concerned about." Volunteer firefighters spent four hours putting out the blaze. Craig`s nephew was home next door, but escaped without injury. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
