Gene Jones was outside his Commander Drive home cutting his grass when he saw smoke pouring out to the road. Moments later, his across-the-street neighbor was in the street, appearing distressed and disoriented. “I saw him in the road, and he said, ‘Call the fire truck,’ I ran inside and I called 9-1-1,” Jones said.
