Tyler Smith of New Haven, Indiana, deserves to be known as a hero because that is exactly what he is.
We heard a loud boom on July 20, 2023, saw a lot of smoke and realized our neighbors house was on fire. Tyler Smith instantly ran outside and started banging on the neighbor’s door to let them know their house was on fire. Tyler then began helping the occupants of the house – two grandchildren, sister, the wife and their dogs out. When they realized a dog as still missing, Tyler went back in to look for the missing dog. When the smoke got too tick, Tyler had to exit the home.
Once Tyler made sure everyone from the house was out and safe, he then came back to our home and be sure everyone here was out and safe. Thankfully, our house only suffered smoke and siding damage.
Tyler showed just how wonderful he was by going into action when needed. If you ask Tyler he will say he is not a hero and was just doing what anyone would do but he saved multiple families members and animals.
Great people should be recognized for the great things they do and this just proves how great of a person Tyler Smith is.
Well done, Tyler Smith. You are our hero, too.
