Instinct. There wasnt much thinking. I just reacted. I just did it, he told the station.
The 28-year-old said he was always raised with the mindset to serve others. Blanks served in the U.S. Marines and currently has a job in the security industry.

I know how to catch, he says. Ive learned how to catch a football. So Ill give some credit to football.
On the day of the fire, he heard a lot of commotion outside of his building. Then Blanks heard someone yell there was a fire, so he grabbed a few things and ran outside barefoot to check it out.
He was twirling in the air like a propeller, Blanks said. I just did my best. His head landed perfectly on my elbow. His ankle got twisted up as I was diving. The guy who was there with me it looked like he wasnt going to catch him. So thats why I stepped in. I just wanted to make a better catch.

Her final act was to fling her son to safety while she was already engulfed in flames.
Shes the real hero of the story, Blanks said. Because she made the ultimate sacrifice to save her children.
The boys father was at work when the blaze broke out. Investigators are still investigating the cause of the fire.
