This may have just been a coincidence but the timing is astonishing.
A toy doll that was part of a project to give teens a realistic look at parenting woke up 17-year-old Christian Deason just as a fire was destroying the family home.
The doll is programmed to cry at different times of the day and night, just like a newborn baby.
Deason's teacher had programmed the doll Friday before school let out for the weekend.
Deason brought the doll home not knowing when it was programmed to cry.
At 3:30 a.m. Oct. 24 the baby doll began to cry, waking Deason up just as the fire was eating its way through her La Vergne, Tennessee house.
Deason immediately got everyone out of the house.
"It was a big white wall of smoke, I fanned it for a second, and I see flames. I ran straight to my mothers room got her out, got my dog out, put the toy baby in the carrier, and we were out," said Deason.
La Vergne Fire Marshall Victor Woods said the fire detectors in the house were not working and the family had only about a minute to get out of the house.
"The toy doll crying was really the key to getting them out safely," said Woods.
Marina Deason, Christian Deason's mother, believes fate may have played a hand in the teacher setting the program for the doll to cry at 3:30 a.m.
"I think God works in mysterious ways, definitely fate had something to do with it," said Marina Deason.
"I was suppose to get this baby, I was suppose to take it home, everything was suppose to happen the way it happened," said Christian Deason.

Another interesting aspect of this fire is mentioned in the video. Everything in the living room was destroyed in the fire except for one Tonka toy truck which had not been touched by the fire. Another coincidence or fate?
