Brandon Bair recalls every detail of a routine Thursday night that led to him saving the life of 25-year-old Steven Jenson seconds before Jenson could have burned to death.
Bair s name may sound familiar. The 36-year-old South Fremont High School graduate played in the NFL for the Oakland Raiders, Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles before retiring in 2016. He now lives in St. Anthony, Idaho, with his wife and four daughters and is the general manager of Henry s Fork Homes. I was on Highway 20 driving to my business when I saw the train hit the truck. There was an explosion right away, and the train was pushing the truck down the tracks, Bair told EastIdahoNews.com. I got on the phone with 911 and started driving down the median to get to the front of the train when it stopped.
