the street, as her daughter Brenda Standridge (right) holds Buttons (dog) and
helps her mother get to the staging area for the residents. Posey was on the
second floor when the fire occured and couldn't get out the door, so she went
out on the outside balcony where she was able to call out to firefighters for
help. The firefighters used a ladder to get Posey and Buttons to safety.
