Fire Victim Tried to Communicate for Help Through Novelty “Dylan Message”

Susan Anton of Carson, CA, was burned to death Tuesday night after a fire engulfed her home. Anton tried to call for help but did so through the novelty “Dylan Messaging” Web site, which proved less effective than other means of communication probably would have been.

“If she had simply used the phone and called 9-1-1, someone may have gotten her out of there on time,” says Carson Fire Chief Ed Pratt. “Or maybe if even music legend Bob Dylan didn’t fidget so much before turning past the first page or whatever you call those things he’s holding in the video.”
