It was 5 a.m.; he was barely awake yet. But when Billy Sillaman saw a fire across the street, his instincts kicked in. Not his survival instincts - those would have prevented him from running into a burning building, which was exactly what he did. His instinct to help drove him to enter the smoke-filled home on Keswick Road in Hampden, and rescue a woman and her dog. But her husband was still stuck inside, "So I went in there, couldn’t see, it was pitch-dark. I kept hearing his voice. I went and I felt him, and went around him and said, “I’m gonna pick you up.’ He was in [sic] a cane. And I picked him up," he recalled to WMAR-2 News' Elizabeth Worthington on Wednesday.
