Fight? Or flight?

None of us knows which we will choose in a moment of tragedy - until it strikes.

Three Huntington men were faced with the question around 2 a.m. on Monday, July 23, when they saw their neighbor's home engulfed in flames.

Their answer: Fight.

That night, Mike Malies, Robin Hale and Rufus McKee, all neighbors of the Jacquay family, helped Heidi Jacquay and three of her daughters escape from their burning home on High Street in Huntington.
