Deputy Rescues Elderly Couple From Fire

A Palm Beach County, Florida Sheriff's deputy rescued a couple from a blaze Saturday night.

Deputy Brandon Serraes carried 95-year-old Byron Krieger, who was on fire, and his wife down two flights of stairs at Century Village in suburban Boca Raton, according to WPTV.

Krieger was transported to Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami where he later died.

His wife, who he was married to for 57 years, did not suffer life-threatening injuries and is expected to survive.

A relative told the news station that the fire happened while his father was lighting the Havdalah candle -- a ceremony to represent the End of Shabbat.
