The man, Gilbert Anaya, is 30 years old. He is a retired field medic who has served in Iraq and Afghanistan. On the night of April 11, he said, the fire engulfed his garage, and the pet pig closed the garage door, giving him valuable time to escape.
"The fire department said it closed the door and bought me 15 to 20 minutes to escape," Annaya said, "and if it hadn't closed the door, the fire and smoke would have spread faster." ”

Anaya added that firefighters who arrived at the scene managed to extinguish the fire. The fire was caused by a short circuit in a surge protector and set aside the place where the pet pig slept in the garage, waking the pet pig from its slumber.
Anaya had reportedly trained his pet pig on how to open and close doors on its own, apparently closing the garage door while escaping.
"The flames engulfed the wood and the support beams," Anaya said of the intensifying fire, "and the wall I slept against had burned." ”
Anaya said that when he woke up to see the hellish scene, he was worried that the pet pig had been dealt with. But when he rushed to the garage and kicked the door that was opening and closing, he found that the clever animal had safely run outside and was grazing peacefully in the yard.

Since his house was destroyed in the fire, Anaya has lived in a friend's house, while the pet pig lives in a makeshift tent in the yard.
Anaya's family launched an online fundraiser to help raise the cost of rebuilding their home after the fire.
