Grandma, Age 4 And 5 Grandkids Use Final Breaths To Call Grandpa As Wildfire Overtakes Home

Ed Bledsoe, 76, from Redding California decided to run to a doctor appointment on Thursday, July 26. The Carr Fire was three miles away from the home where his wife, Melody, 70, and great-grandkids; James Roberts Jr., 5, and Emily Roberts, 4, resided. They didn’t believe the fire was an imminent threat because it was across a river. Just fifteen minutes after leaving the house, Bledsoe received a call from his desperate loved ones. The fire had suddenly spread and was already coming in the back door of the home. They begged him to come back and save them.
