I am unaware of the timeline, how long he was gone, how much progress the fire had made, etc.
How do you know the fire had made his path 1200 degrees? Can you link to anything supporting this?

You'd be amazed at what a man will do to save his family.
I was on shift one night in Florida when a man was brought in with 3rd deg burns over most of his body. It was awful. He did not survive, but...
He worked the night shift at a local plant. He apparently got a call around 3am from his neighbor that his house was on fire. His wife and 3 young children were asleep in the house and neighbor said it was too hot to get near the house. They lived in the country so it takes help a while to get there. The guy got there ahead of the fire dept and made 3 trips into the house which was fully engulfed in flames bringing his wife and 3 kids out. The fire dept showed up as he was bringing out his wife (he got his kids first).
The wife and 3 kids did not survive, but he died believing he saved them. Just before sedating him and putting him on a ventilator he asked me how is family was. I knew the man would die and was not about to tell him the truth. I told him he saved all of them.
That story is tough to tell in person without getting a little emotional. Mad respect for that man.
