Fabrice Dusset, homeless person for five years in Lyon (Rhône), has become the hero of his neighborhood by saving a second-hand dealer trapped in a fire. The inhabitants of the district mobilized to reward him.
It has been nearly a month since the facts occurred, yet the popularity of Fabrice Dusset does not fade. In his neighborhood, everyone has recognized him since he saved a second-hand dealer from the flames whose shop caught fire. “I didn’t think about it, I ran, I took him by the feet because there were flames all around him”, says the hero. As a thank you, a pot was opened in the district, reaching, in one month, the amount of 2,500 euros.
“It was important to make a gesture: he says he made a civic gesture, and we wanted to make such a civic gesture towards him”, says Sandra, at the origin of the pot. A petition has also emerged asking for the 30-something to sleep warm. Thanks to this action, Fabrice Dusset was offered social housing after five years on the street. “I would like to thank the people who are on the internet, it’s thanks to them”, he greets.
