“So, I knew me waiting around for hopefully somebody else to show up would be pretty much out of the ordinary, so I kind of had it pre-determined that once I got to the station, I was just going to put my stuff on and go,” he added.“Any firemen that I know—that I pride myself in knowing—would have made the exact same call,” Sikes saidTarkington Fire Chief Paul Gregory said Captain Sikes immediately went to work.
Captain Sikes and his fellow firefighters went back in the mobile home to search for the baby girl, but she too had died.
