Bedford Park, IL, Automotive Technician James Iazzetto and his wife Kathy were home on a recent Saturday night when they smelled smoke and stepped outside to investigate.<\/p>\n

A neighbor\u2019s house was on fire and two small children were inside. The mother was screaming, \u201cMy babies, my babies!\u201d<\/p>\n

James Iazzetto ran into the burning home and found the children, who are about 1 and 3 years old, a local news site reported<\/em><\/a>. He brought the children outside and tried to re-enter the house to look for more people but was driven back by heavy smoke.<\/p>\n

Other family members exited the home safely and no injuries were reported, police said. Iazzetto was taken to a hospital and checked for smoke inhalation. He\u2019s doing fine now.<\/p>\n

Kathy Iazetto said her husband doesn\u2019t consider himself a hero. \u201cHe just did what he had to do. He\u2019s very courageous,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
