Wrong turn a blessing for fire victims

NEWPORT, Ky., Feb. 11 (UPI) -- A new arrival in Kentucky who came upon a fire after taking a wrong turn is being hailed as a hero for saving a man with cerebral palsy.

Adolfo Valle, 25, ran into a burning building and pulled out Harold Moore, 58, of Newport, Ky., on Jan. 30. He went on his way without leaving his name, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Valle's family identified him this week as the unknown rescuer. He was with his mother-in-law at the time.

Moore's family, including his mother, Ruby Brown, 82, and sister, Pauline Bullock, 55, plans to thank Valle in person.

"It is going to be a blessing to meet him," Bullock said. "He was just out the blue. He didn't even think before he came running in. That is a human being with a big heart. That will be a closure for me to tell him what it meant to me and my family."

Valle, who moved to Covington from Mexico last year to get married, said he was already thinking about trying to become a firefighter.

"I like to rescue people and being somebody who can help people," he said.
