A volunteer firefighter is being credited with saving a pregnant woman from a vehicle fire in Lafayette, La. on Tuesday.

In a Facebook post, the woman, Alfrelisha Thibeaux, said she decided to pull over on the side of the road because she was having car trouble and it was making a “strange noise.” Thibeaux said she was sitting in her truck waiting for her fiance to show up to help her, not knowing her SUV was on fire.

Thibeaux said volunteer firefighter Connor Manuel was driving by and yelled at her to get out of the vehicle because a small fire had started underneath the hood.

It happened on Interstate 10 East in Lafayette, according to The Acadiana Advocate.

Thibeaux said because of the heavy traffic she had to crawl out the passenger side door. In a Facebook post she wrote, “being 6 &1/2 months, I had the toughest time crossing over to the passenger side.” She said seconds after she got out of the SUV, it burst into flames.

In a Facebook post that included a picture of Manuel holding a cookie cake that said “My Hero,” Thibeaux called him a humble and beautiful soul. “We can’t thank you enough Connor Manuel. May God bless your whole path in life. It was a normal routine to stop and check for you that turned out to be the miracle stop I needed that morning,” she wrote.

I can't thank you enough for being there at the right time for me & staying until you knew I was ok & well.”
