While other country stars were celebrating at the Grammy Awards Sunday, Craig Morgan, a former EMT and deputy sheriff, put his training to good use.

Morgan was out and about with his family in his hometown of Dickson, Tenn., when his son Jerry, 14, alerted him to a house on fire.

Morgan, who had just come in off the road — he was in West Palm Beach this past weekend for WIRK’s Rib Round Up — sent Jerry to find a hose, then ran over to the house where a woman told him her kids were still inside the burning structure.

Morgan ran inside through thick smoke and rescued the two kids, telling syndicated radio personalities Big D and Bubba that one of the kids ran from him and he had to chase him down.

He grabbed up the two boys — Morgan says they were about 2 and 5 years old — and returned the kids, scared but unharmed, to their distraught mother.

“It was a pretty good blaze at this point,” he said.

When the volunteer fire department arrived, Craig helped them put out the fire, but the modest Morgan told Big D and Bubba, “I didn’t do anything that anybody else standing around there would have done.”

And he used the event as a teaching opportunity for his own kids (he has four!): “I told my kids, when you see something like that, that’s what you do.”
