Rural Carrier Dylan Mickelson was delivering mail in Frazee, MN, recently when he came upon a tool shed engulfed in flames.
The Postal Service employee called 911 and alerted the homeowners, who had no idea that the structure was on fire.
The homeowners’ daughter later sent a note to Mickelson thanking him.
