But the couple who lived there escaped without injury before the flames grew into an inferno, thanks to Amazon delivery worker Brianna Tuckey.Tuckey was driving to her last stop Friday evening when she spotted the fire. She called 911 and ran to the door.

"I was like, 'Ma'am your house is on fire,' and she was almost like in disbelief at first. I don't think she believed me right away. Then she started like to panic and we got the cat out, her husband came out. It was definitely a little bit of a shock," Tuckey said."Noticed that it was a fire, you can lose lives that way.

It was a frightening situation, for sure. Tuckey told Aiello she's generally a calm person, who keeps it together under pressure. She said she thinks she inherited that from her dad."That definitely has something to do with me wanting to be helpful. My dad kind of instilled that in me, so," Brianna Tuckey said."Everyone was safe, and that's all I wanted to see," Brianna Tuckey said.
