UPS Driver Rescues Elderly Couple; Insurance Crisis Ensues

In Hearne, Texas, a UPS driver played a crucial role in rescuing an elderly couple, Charles and Sue Fikes, trapped in their burning home. The UPS driver noticed the fire and quickly called 911, enabling firefighting teams to reach the couple in time. The cause of the fire, which started near the front patio, is under investigation.

The Fikes, well-known local business owners, were left without homeowners’ insurance due to a cancellation notice sent via email that they did not see, raising concerns about communication methods used by insurance companies with senior clients. The family is now facing significant repair costs for their damaged home while advocating for better protections for elderly policyholders.
