Neighbors Rise to Save in Argyle Explosion

A dramatic explosion rocked a lakeside home in Argyle, New York, on June fourth, trapping neighbors inside. Retired school principal Paul Berkheimer and his wife Ellen, a former nurse, sprang into action—breaking through plexiglass to rescue Darlene Weir and her husband Tom, with help from neighbor Nick Troiano. As flames erupted after the blast—caused by a propane leak—the Berkheimers immediately opened their home to everyone else on the scene. Their heroic response saved lives and inspired the community.
