| The entire city of Fresno, California is looking for the man in the blue Dodgers cap who dashed into a flaming house and carried a 73 year old man to safety. |
The guy who rescued the man from this fire has been found. His name is Thomas Artiago, and the man he rescued have been reunited, says KFSN in Fresno.
KFSN reports Artiago "remains humble about the experience, saying he wasn't acting bravely or even courageously. He just acted.
'It was just an instinct, you know,' he said. 'Instinct, you see someone and help out people.'""

Authorities are on the lookout for a guy who took something precious from a California home.
They're not going to arrest him, or charge him with any crimes. They just want to find the right person to thank.

The "thing" this guy took from the house was a 73 year old man who was on oxygen.
The house was flaming, big time, and filled with dense smoke. Explosions rattled around inside. The fire department wasn't there yet.

You'll see it in the video at the bottom of this post, but nobody dared go into that conflagration to get the poor guy out. It was super hot. The explosions weren't helping. But some guy in a Dodgers cap raced in and got the man.
A dramatic video shot by a woman named Beth Lederach, who was driving by, saw the smoke, called 911 and then started filming.
"The rescuer appeared to have 'come out of nowhere,' Lederach said. 'He just calmly walked right in there and came walking right back out with this guy,'" says the Fresno Bee.

Police believed the rescuer stopped by a hospital after the incident to be treated for smoke inhalation. Then he disappeared.
The 73 year old guy, Robert Wells is going to be OK, too. He suffered from smoke inhalation, which isn't exactly too surprising. But he's on the mend.
"I wasn't going fast enough, so a guy picked me up and carried me out there. He was kind of in a half run," Wells told television station KFSN.
"Thank you from the bottom of my heart, that I made it out," Wells told KFSN, hoping the rescuer was watching.
