Hall deputy rescues neighbors, dog from house fire
Perry Cook
Hall County Sheriff's Office Deputy Perry Cook
Perry Cook was just taking his dogs out for some fresh air and exercise at home on June 8. “They were bugging me,” he joked. But the Hall County Sheriff’s Office deputy saw a fire at his neighbor Martha Coley’s home on Thorn Bush Drive in Gainesville, and he ran to rescue the 80-year-old woman, her 12-year-old foster daughter and the family dog.
