Firefighter saves American flag with special meaning from burning NH home

HUDSON, N.H - A firefighter saved a priceless treasure from a home in New Hampshire last month.

Lt. Scott Savard with the Windham Fire Department pulled an American flag from the MacGillivary family's burning home in Hudson on November 14. It turns out the flag was for the honorable military service of a late family member.

Another first responder cleaned the flag and bought a case to hold it, and then gave it back to the family. 

"While the family has lost a lot, we hope this brings them some comfort," the Hudson Fire Department said.
