10-year-olds save families from house fires in Louisiana, Canada

In recent incidents, children have displayed remarkable bravery in the face of house fires. In Shreveport, Louisiana, 10-year-old Keron Johnson alerted his family to a fire early in the morning, allowing them to escape unharmed as firefighters managed to control the blaze within 30 minutes. Similarly, in Port Hardy, a youth home alone quickly closed the door to a bedroom where a fire started, preventing further damage to the house, which ultimately suffered only smoke damage. Fire officials praised both children for their quick thinking, which likely saved lives and property. In a tragic contrast, 14-year-old Geeniel George was hailed a hero for saving his siblings and mother from a house fire, though he could not save his three-year-old brother, leading to an ongoing investigation into the suspected arson. These stories highlight the critical role children can play in emergency situations.
