While there’s very little left of the homeowners’ garage, Caleb Delasantos is being hailed as a hero for helping the residents get out of harm’s way on the night of July 4. “I lost all of my childhood things,” Marianne Hiebsch said of the fire at her Upland house. “My husband lost all of his childhood things. We can only assume because it was Fourth of July that it was a firework because we were in bed.” It was about 11 p.m. when suddenly, Hiebsch’s dog, Ruby, started barking. “I just got out of bed and the house was dark and I just saw this orange glow,” she explained. Hiebsch said it was utter chaos trying to salvage what they could. In the midst of that confusion, Delasantos was driving back home after watching fireworks with his girlfriend when he spotted the plumes of smoke coming from the garage.
