Firefighters with the Orange City Fire Department found a ring amongst the rubble of a home lost in the Palisades Fire and were able to return the heirloom to the family it belonged to.
“While battling the flames, Fire Engineer Garrett received a message about a family who had to evacuate without taking their belongings,” the department said on Facebook. One of those belongings was a ring that was “a treasured heirloom passed down through three generations.”
The crews went back to where the house was and after sifting through debris, found a safe. Inside was the ring.
“It was truly a miraculous moment for our family. We didn’t lose everything,” the family told the fire department.
“It was a glimmer of hope that came at the hands of an incredible group of men that I am eternally grateful for. It was a moment of joy and tears that we will never forget. Thank you.”
