Upon his arrival, he observed the house on fire and witnesses advised him that a woman was still inside the home. A volunteer fireman was passing the location and stopped to assist Hubert. Both entered the home and attempted to locate the subject. Unable to see due to the heavy smoke conditions, they called out to the woman. They followed her cries for help but were forced to exit for air. Fearing the woman would perish, both reentered the home and crawled through the smoke to the kitchen where they located the victim.
