DirecTV Technician Saved Wheelchair-Bound Army Veteran from a Fire

Cable guys get a bad rap for never showing up on time. They give you a six hour window and still mess it up, right? Well, this guy showed up at exactly the right time.

Joseph Spencer is a DirecTV technician in Mesa, Arizona. He'd just finished up a job this week when someone told him their neighbor's house was on fire. Check this out: Joseph smashed a window, called out and heard a guy yelling for help. He then crawled on his hands and knees under the smoke until he found the guy.

Turns out it was an Army veteran in a wheelchair who's a double amputee. Joseph pulled him to the window, and with the help of the neighbor got him out. The guy's recovering now, and the fire department is investigating. Joseph says he's just glad he was in the right place at the right time.
