2-year-old saved from burning Granbury apartment
Granbury firefighters saved a toddler from a burning apartment early Sunday morning.
GRANBURY, Texas - A Granbury mother is thanking fire crews who saved her 2-year-old son while he was trapped in a burning apartment on Sunday morning.
Just before 1 a.m. on Sunday, Phylicia Keen woke up to the sound of glass breaking in her apartment on Parkwood.
When she walked into the living room, she saw a broken window and flames coming inside.
She grabbed her 4-year-old son and ran into the hallway to alert the neighbors.
By the time she came back to get her 2-year-old son from the bedroom, the smoke was too thick.
"I tried to stay calm but I couldn’t, I was screaming, ‘get my baby, please get my baby,’" recalled Keen.

RAW: Toddler rescued from Granbury apartment fire
Granbury Fire officials say a 2-year-old who was trapped in a fire at an apartment complex early Sunday morning was taken to a Fort Worth hospital for treatment.
When firefighters arrived, they were told the child, Liam Keen, was trapped in a second floor bedroom.
A crew put a ladder up to the bedroom window and broke it. A firefighter was able to rescue the child from the burning apartment.
The rescue was captured on a body camera worn by another firefighter.
"Watching that video was amazing. I was crying," said Keen. "My heart was just so happy watching that video of them."
Liam was taken to a waiting ambulance, then taken to Cook Children's in Fort Worth for more treatment.
The boy's mother, Phylicia Keen, says her son's chest X-ray and blood work came back good, but he does have some carbon monoxide poisoning.
Doctors will monitor Liam overnight.
Keen says she is thankful for the first responders' quick actions to save her son.
"I want to thank them from the bottom of my heart for getting my baby out as quickly as you did. Y'all don't get enough credit, you really don't," said Keen through tears.
Keen says her apartment is unlivable and most of their belongings were destroyed in the fire. Another apartment has heavy water damage and a third has heavy smoke damage. In all, 15 people were displaced. Crews hope to get people back into their apartments later this week, if it is deemed safe.
A total of 45 firefighters were called to the scene to help battle the flames.
"When we come together as brothers and sisters in the fire department, all we're worried about is loss of life and making sure that we can do everything in our power to make sure we don't have any loss of life and this one was a win for us," said Captain Brad Snyder of the Granbury Volunteer Fire Department.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
Hood County Fire is assisting with the investigation.
