Hero Uncle Rushes Into Flames to Save 8-Year-Old Girl – What Happens Next Will Shock You

A man from Washington is being called a hero after he ran into a burning house to save his eight-year-old niece.

According to reports, 20-year-old Derrick Byrd suffered second and third-degree burns on his face, back, and arms after rushing into the house when he realized his niece was trapped inside.

Speaking to KOMO-TV, Byrd said: “Even though I got burnt, I didn’t really care. I’d rather get burnt than her. She’s young and still has so much ahead of her. She’s a good kid.”

The fire broke out in a home in Aberdeen, Washington, while Derrick Byrd and six other family members were inside, including his sister Kayla and her three children.

When the fire spread, Byrd helped his nephews, Junior and Royce, jump out of a second-story window to safety. However, his eight-year-old niece Mercedes was too scared to jump after watching her mother, Kayla, fall from the roof.

Without hesitating, Byrd ran back into the burning house to save Mercedes. He quickly felt the flames burning him.

“I could feel it burning me,” he said.

Byrd wrapped his shirt around Mercedes’ face to protect her from the smoke and carried her out of the house as fast as he could.

Despite suffering burns, Byrd said he’d do it all again if needed.

“I’d run back in there and do it again, even if I got burnt worse or died,” he said.

When people called him a hero, Byrd humbly responded, “I wouldn’t say I’m a hero. I just wasn’t going to let my niece and nephews die.”

Farmer finds giant egg but what was inside was even more puzzling

When an Australian farmer went to pick up his chickens’ daily eggs, he had the shock of his life.

Three times the size of a typical egg and weighing 6.2 ounces, a huge egg had been deposited by one of his hens.

A free-range chicken at Stockman’s Eggs on the Atherton Tablelands in north Queensland laid the babushka egg.

The company’s owner, Scott Stockman, shared a picture of the amazing find he and his employees made at the farm.

It appears really strange when compared to an ordinary-sized egg, but what was possibly even stranger was what they discovered after they cracked the egg.

There was another egg, properly formed, inside the egg.

“Having two perfectly formed eggs together is just incredible,” Scott told ABC News Australia.

It was the first of its kind, according to a veterinary sciences expert from Charles Sturt University.

According to Associate Professor Raf Freire, the hen must have normally developed an egg but for some reason chose not to lay it.

Then, he told ABC News, “instead of that egg being laid, as it usually is, what’s happened is that another ovum has been released.”

That has fallen, and the chicken has inexplicably chosen to form a shell around both the egg from the day before and the recently fallen ovum.

Although the experts said that eating the egg would have been safe, Scott told ABC News that they receive 50,000 eggs per day and therefore “didn’t bother eating it.”

Quite incredible, don’t you think? If you thought this story was amazing too, tell your friends about it on Facebook!
