WEST WARWICK When he went to bed Tuesday night, Joseph Rogowski was familiar with two men, an uncle and his nephew, who were living in a slender house just a short distance across a small yard behind the house he rents.
Around 3 a.m. Wednesday, Rogowski recalled, the uncle escaped the burning unit through a window, crawled across the yard and banged on his door.
Rogowski says he could not see the uncle because the man, who typically uses a wheelchair, was down on the ground.
But he says he sorted out quickly and raced to the door of the blazing home to help his neighbor’s nephew, whom both he and the police identified as Jason Mather.
