ASHEBORO, N.C. — A Randolph County family is celebrating good news.
Ten-year-old, Chevy Burroughs, is home from the hospital after 45 days, according to the #CHEVYSTRONG Facebook page created by Chevy Burroughs's older sister, Kurstin Burroughs.
Chevy suffered second and third-degree burns when his house caught fire on December 8. His father Kevin Burroughs ripped through a wall to rescue his son.
The fire started in the back of the family's home. Kevin and Shauna Burroughs, along with their 15-year-old daughter Kamdyn woke up to their son Chevy screaming from his room.
Family friend, Wally Wilson said Kevin knocked through many layers to get to his son from outside the home.
"Went through vinyl, siding, plywood, studs, sheetrock, everything, and the hole he knocked was right there where Chevy was and pulled his boy out. The mother (Shauna) knocked the window out. That's actually right here behind me, to pull their 15-year-old daughter out the window," Wilson explained.
Chevy wasn't breathing, so his mother performed CPR until he was revived.
Kamdyn, Chevy's sister, called 911.
Chevy was flown to Brenner Children's Hospital where he was in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. He spent 45 days in the hospital and is now home.
