Huber Heights Fire Division Battalion Chief Robert Williams said the fire happened in the kitchen but didn’t spread throughout the rest of the unit.
That’s due to the actions of the delivery driver, who is listed in the report as 60-year-old Matthew Siemazsko.
The report said he was delivering a package, saw smoke, ran to his delivery van, and grabbed his fire extinguisher.
Siemazsko then ran into the building, saving lives and the entire apartment building.
“I think it’s awesome. It’s nice to have people like that who are willing to step up when needed,” Williams said.
No one was injured in this fire.
Once Siemazsko finished talking with the police and fire department, he hopped right back into his van and got back to work.
Fire crews said the kitchen was damaged in the fire, but the family should be able to continue living in the unit.
A spokesperson with Amazon is working to get News Center 7’s Taylor Robertson in contact with Siemazsko.
