Park Forest, IL-(ENEWSPF)- Two AT&T employees, Ron Shockley, 37, and his partner Garreth Carpenter, 35, rescued a Park Forest woman after a home explosion on Bailey Street in Park Forest, IL. Shockley climbed up the ladder and assisted the Park Forest woman from what remained of her home and carried her down the street.
