Phoenix man died trying to save pets from fire
Jack Esperanzas family says he ran back into a burning home near 7th Street and Roosevelt in an attempt to save his dogs. Esperanza suffered third-degree burns. Neither he nor the animals made it out.
"I got there, and they were putting out the fire and I asked where Jack was, and they said they already took him to the hospital," said Jack's wife, Elizabeth. "You know, it's not the same to live with people as your own home and I just feel like it's all a dream like I'm gonna wake up, and he's gonna be there with my dogs."
Jack's family says they don't have insurance, and in addition to losing Jack and the pets, everything in the home was destroyed.
