GARNETT — Garnett business owner Don Millington is being credited with saving the lives of three people in a burning house last week. Millington was at his new automotive shop late Wednesday night when he spotted a fire at the neighboring home in the 200 block of East Fourth Avenue in Garnett. Millington woke up the people in the house, Rusty Harvey, Preston Morgan, and Harvey’s 5-year-old daughter; and called 911, the Garnett Fire Department said. Harvey was taken to Anderson County Hospital for treatment of cuts he suffered while escaping the fire through a window. The fire department said no working smoke detectors were found in the house. The home, which was owned by Denny Hachenberg, Garnett, was heavily damaged.
