That employee was one of the victims he tried to rescue from the fire.'I keep thinking about it, and coming back to work today, it keeps hitting me again,' Hayes said.
'When we walked in there, we just see her on fire,' Hayes said. 'I didn't even know it was her—I couldn't recognize her. I thought it was somebody else.'Hayes said he used the fire extinguisher on the woman and then put out another fire in the corner of the store.Smoke was billowing from inside, forcing Hayes to run outside to catch his breath.Hayes said police and firefighters arrived shortly after.
