Mckinney, TX, Rural Carrier Assistant Jeff Jones quick thinking saved a family from a house fire.   He had only been a Letter Carrier for three months and was on his last stop when he noticed smoke coming from a house that he needed to deliver a parcel.  It was Jones’s quick action to notify police and the fire department that may have saved the house and the people inside. With the help of an officer, he was able to get the three kids and grandma out of the house.  The home owner remarked, “For him to have that kind of love and concern for my kids...he is a wonderful person. He’s special and I hope that he knows that.”
