A Jacksonville mobile home fire in June 2014 killed four family members and could have taken yet another life if it weren’t for Robert Pritchard Jr.
Pritchard — who was 13 at the time — was riding his bicycle by the mobile home in the 12700 block of Palmetto Street when he noticed Hattie Fowler, 6, standing in a window of the burning structure.
He went inside the smoke-filled home and the fire was raging by the time he made it to the room where he had seen Hattie.
