A couple who lives in the back of the home said first they noticed the smoke.
When Olga Santana and her husband went to investigate what was going on, they realized the front of the home was on fire and their neighbor was trapped inside.
"I go over there and broke a window," Santana's husband said. "I see the lady on the floor, and me and the other man pull her and put her outside."
