A woman who was pulled from a house fire in California Sunday morning has died, family told sister station KCRA 3 on Monday. She is credited by the family as the reason they were able to escape.The house fire was sparked by an artificial Christmas tree around 2 a.m. Sunday. Investigators said an electrical short from the Christmas tree caused the fire, and the home did not have working smoke detectors.Family identified the woman as 22-year-old Destiny Abdrazack.Neighbors said they woke up to a loud sound and looked out the window. "You could see the flickering light on the tree and that's kind of like the telltale sign of a fire," Richard Byers said.He and his wife Brandy Byers ran three doors down and saw Abdrazack's family outside."They were screaming, 'Destiny! There's someone inside! There's someone inside!' There's nothing any of us could do," Brandy said.Richard said he couldn't just stand there and watch the house burn. He grabbed a fire extinguisher while another neighbor used a garden hose. He said a family member was motioning to the front window. "That's where I aimed my fire extinguisher, but the fire just came right back," Richard said. "It was too intense, moving too fast."Ernest Isom, his wife, their son and his fiance and two other adults had fallen asleep celebrating Christmas Eve."Unfortunately, they wanted to keep the lights on until the last minute and we all happen to fall asleep and we had an instant, seconds to get out," Isom said. "It was fast, and that's how quick it went. I'm talking minutes."The family lost everything, including two dogs. But Isom calls Abdrazack — she was his future daughter-in-law — a hero for her quick actions."Unfortunately, she was the one who yelled fire, and that's the sad part. She saved our lives," Isom said.Loved ones have started a fundraiser for the family impacted by the fire.Fire officials encourage people to check their batteries and make sure they are working.
