Four siblings were saved from a fire, thanks to a man who made a wrong turn. Brendon Birt said he took a wrong turn on a road in Red Oak, Iowa, on Oct. 23 and happened to see a fire breaking out at the Lehman family's home. 

He jumped into action, beating on the windows on the house's side.

“I just felt like somebody was in there because it was so late at night. I just knew that I had to act quick,” Birt said. “Every second that was going by was just getting worse.”

Ring doorbell video shows the house engulfed in flames. The smoke detectors were not going off.

“There’s a fire. You got to get out!” Birt said in the video.

Tender Lehman's four children, ages 8, 14, 17, and 22, were inside the house, according to a GoFundMe website put up for the family. Birt's thumping and yelling jolted them awake.

“Everything was just black in the living room. There was nothing left of it,” Christopher Lehman said.

The three smaller children can be seen on video breaking out the front door through smoke and fire.

Lehman described Birt, a singer/musician, as "family" now and called the situation a miracle.
