A garbage-collection shift in suburban California turned into a dramatic rescue site when one refuse worker spotted a home on fire.

On June 2, 2020, Patrick “Bubba” Lebow saw flames and hurried to the residence, kicked down the door, and saved the lives of the home’s two elderly inhabitants. The Ceres, California, community is now praising the refuse worker for his heroic life-saving efforts.
