DescriptionCongressional candidate and former state Sen. Lou Correa is being credited with rescuing seven people Wednesday after a balcony at a Santa Ana apartment complex caught fire.

The incident happened about 10:30 a.m. in the 2000 block of North Broadway, said Orange County Fire Authority Capt. Steve Concialdi.

Correa, 58, said he was driving south on Broadway to a meeting when he noticed a flames coming from an apartment building.

“Out of the corner of my eye I saw fire erupt on the second story balcony,” he said Wednesday afternoon. “I said to myself, ‘I can’t believe it’s happening.’”

Correa made a U-turn, parked his car, grabbed a garden hose, started applying water to the balcony, and yelled for the occupants in a unit in front of the fire to get out.
