UPS driver honored for saving family from burning home - East Idaho News
A United Parcel Service driver was honored Thursday for saving a woman and her sons from what could have been a deadly house fire.
Sheldon Bonnell, a UPS freight driver for the past 16 years, was on his early morning route May 20 when he spotted the home burning on the Swan Valley Highway around 2 a.m.
“About two and a half miles from their home, I could see what I thought was a brush fire,” Bonnell tells EastIdahoNews.com. “As I got closer, I realized it wasn’t a brush fire but an actual building.”
