Most of you know about the fires that broke out across California over the last few days, well this article comes as a result of the fire that swept Napa Valley like a thief in the night, and no, it's not about the vinyards or the winery devistation, it's way more important and heart-wrenching.

Charles (age 100) and his wife Sara Rippey (age 98) were trapped in a "firestorm" inside their home in Napa and according to there son, were not able to move fast enough to get out. Sara had a stroke so was very limited in her mobility and family say that even if he had made it to there bedroom, he likely wouldn't have been able to get her out, nor would he have left her side.

According to the couple's son, the two had met and fell in love while in grade school. Charles served 4 years in the Army during World War II and went on to live an honorable life with his wife and their 5 children. The couple lived in Napa for the last 35 years and had quite an interesting life which is talked about in a little more detail in the media video below:
