Two brothers in Massachusetts are being credited for saving a husband and wife, as well as the couple's historic home, from a house fire in Andover during this weekend's powerful nor'easter.Graham Dalton, 17, was driving home at about 3 p.m. Saturday with his 14-year-old brother, Ian, after the two spent hours shoveling snow for neighbors when they spotted what appeared to be flames leaping from a third-story window of a home."I pulled alongside the house and I was like: 'Hey, go knock on their door. Make sure everything is OK,'" Graham Dalton said."I was like: 'Hey, is there supposed to be a fire in the attic.' He was like: 'No.' And I was like: 'Alright, well, there is,'" Ian Dalton said.Graham called 911 while Ian helped get the couple, Pat and Fran O'Neil, out of the house as the second floor was rapidly filling up with smoke."We had no idea," Pat O'Neil said. "We were sitting down in the dining area playing Scrabble, and we had a fire in the fireplace."Andover firefighters were quickly able to contain the fire in the 130-year-old home, which appears to have started in a third-floor window fan."Fifteen minutes, you know, it's all the difference in the house being gone or saved — and they saved it," Fran O'Neil said."You've just got to go. It's not something you learn. It's not something you're taught, not something you train for, certainly, and you just gotta go," Graham Dalton said.On top of saving the O'Neils and their house, the Dalton brothers stayed with the couple to help them start cleaning up."They're just really nice young men and they did the right thing," Pat O'Neil said."That they went in and they acted appropriately and as a team, I'm very proud of that," said Julie Dalton, the boys' mother. "They were cool under pressure.""We have our battles, but sometimes we can be a great team," Graham Dalton said of his brother.Andover Fire Chief Michael Mansfield said seconds do count in a fire, especially when they break out in older homes. He said the Dalton brothers' quick action, and willingness to stop and help a neighbor, made all the difference.
Two brothers in Massachusetts are being credited for saving a husband and wife, as well as the couple's historic home, from a house fire in Andover during this weekend's powerful nor'easter.
Graham Dalton, 17, was driving home at about 3 p.m. Saturday with his 14-year-old brother, Ian, after the two spent hours shoveling snow for neighbors when they spotted what appeared to be flames leaping from a third-story window of a home.
"I pulled alongside the house and I was like: 'Hey, go knock on their door. Make sure everything is OK,'" Graham Dalton said.
"I was like: 'Hey, is there supposed to be a fire in the attic.' He was like: 'No.' And I was like: 'Alright, well, there is,'" Ian Dalton said.
Graham called 911 while Ian helped get the couple, Pat and Fran O'Neil, out of the house as the second floor was rapidly filling up with smoke.
"We had no idea," Pat O'Neil said. "We were sitting down in the dining area playing Scrabble, and we had a fire in the fireplace."
Andover firefighters were quickly able to contain the fire in the 130-year-old home, which appears to have started in a third-floor window fan.
"Fifteen minutes, you know, it's all the difference in the house being gone or saved — and they saved it," Fran O'Neil said.
"You've just got to go. It's not something you learn. It's not something you're taught, not something you train for, certainly, and you just gotta go," Graham Dalton said.
On top of saving the O'Neils and their house, the Dalton brothers stayed with the couple to help them start cleaning up.
"They're just really nice young men and they did the right thing," Pat O'Neil said.
"That they went in and they acted appropriately and as a team, I'm very proud of that," said Julie Dalton, the boys' mother. "They were cool under pressure."
"We have our battles, but sometimes we can be a great team," Graham Dalton said of his brother.
Andover Fire Chief Michael Mansfield said seconds do count in a fire, especially when they break out in older homes. He said the Dalton brothers' quick action, and willingness to stop and help a neighbor, made all the difference.
