Man Running Late To Work Spots Flames And It's Clear God Had Him in Right Place, Right Time
March 08, 2022
It seems certain that God had a hand in causing Ryan Pasborg of Wyoming to be right where he was needed when a mother and her four children were in terrible distress!
Ryan Pasborg of Green River, Wyoming was driving to work when he smelled smoke and saw flames coming from a home in Jamestown. He was running late, but seeing no sirens or first responders on-site, he pulled into the driveway of the home.

Upon arrival, Ryan saw three children coming from inside the home. They told him that their mother, 34, was still inside with their 4-year-old brother. The mom and her four children had all been asleep when the fire broke out in the home.
Good Samaritan Comes To The Rescue
Ryan Pasborg, formerly a volunteer firefighter in Superior, Wyoming, didn’t hesitate a moment before going into the home to search for mother and child!
Ryan entered through the garage but had to crawl once inside because the smoke was so dense.

Several feet into the kitchen, Ryan located the little boy, grabbed him, and escaped the flames. He then quickly put all four children into his truck to protect them from the frigid temperatures and returned to the burning home to locate their mother!
Ryan had to crawl further into the home this time, but he eventually located the kids’ mother. She’d been badly burned, and, by the time he’d carried her outside, she had lost consciousness. Ryan Pasborg of Wyoming began CPR, and soon the woman was breathing on her own. Ryan drove the entire family safely away from the blaze and waited for emergency assistance to arrive. Can you imagine a greater demonstration of heroism?
Ryan Pasborg Of Wyoming Hailed A Hero
Consider all the things that had to happen to bring about the miracle of that particular day. Ryan was running late, but he observed a dangerous situation and made the decision to stop.
Was he late or was his timing just right?
He then made the decision to take immediate action. However, it seems obvious that for Ryan that might not have required thought at all. Ryan had the knowledge and experience so that he knew how best to proceed. He was physically able to save this family. And, above all, he had the incredible bravery that few people possess. He didn’t go into a burning building for those he loved. He went into one for strangers!
Sheriff John Grossnickle stated, “Not only is it a blessing in its own right that Mr. Pasborg was in the right place at the right time, but his willingness without second thought to risk his own life to help save this family was the difference between life and death for this young mother and her child; he gave them a fighting chance.”
