Corn ended up spending the next three and a half hours in Coffey Park dodging burning embers while pushing a wheelchair. "We moved 20 times to avoid dying in that park," Corn told KTVU FOX2 Monday as he returned for the first time to the charred remains of his home. Corn is a full-time caregiver for his paraplegic roommate, Heidi, and as the flames drew close, Corn knew they had little time to get out. "And there are spiritual things here that, you know we were protected by some stuff," Corn told KTVU as he started to break into tears. While Corn sustained first and second degree burns to his arm, his roommate made it through the harrowing ordeal uninjured.
