\u201cMy adrenaline was going so hard, I had not felt anything,\u201d Sewell said. \u201cThe first way I knew something was wrong was my hair had fallen in my face and when I tried to wipe it away, it all just fell on the ground.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sewell says it was an electrical fire that sparked behind her couch in the living room, following the power going out.<\/p>\n
