Neighbors Rescue Elderly New Hampshire Woman From Blaze

RAYMOND, N.H. (AP) -- A 78-year-old Raymond woman is crediting two neighbors who pulled her out of her burning home with saving her life.

Firefighters say Geraldine Mataragas was asleep in her living room when candles ignited a fire Tuesday. Neighbors Aaron Thorsell and Steven Goldthwaite ran in, woke her up and helped her out.

Mataragas' home was destroyed. She is safe with other neighbors and called her rescuers ``wonderful.''
