It was a Sunday morning when an electrical fire broke out in his house, and the first thing he did was he saved his dog and his sister.
Aย GoFundMeย was set up to care for the familyโs expenses.
โOn the morning of 2/9, we were woken by my 5 year old grandson alerting us that our home was on fire. We thank God for our Noah and his heroic actions. By the grace of God, all nine of our loved ones were able to get out of our home. If it wasnโt for Noah, we may not be here today. The electrical fire began in the childrenโs bedroom. Noah woke to flames in his room. He quickly grabbed up his two year old sister, Lilly, opened the bedroom window, climbed out the window, and ran next door to get help from his uncle, our son, Josh. Within minutes, all nine of us were able to get to safety. We praise God that we all are safe,โย explains the description on the GoFundMe page.
โOur hero!โย the Bartow County Fire Departmentย postedย on their Facebook Page.
โ5 year old Noah Woods recently woke up to find his bedroom on fire. The only available exit was a window. He got himself and his 2 year old sister out of the window to escape the fire and re entered the house to alert the rest of the family
Thankfully, all nine members of the family got out of the home and with the exception of a small burn on Noahโs wrist, no one was hurt.
โNoah and 4 other family members were treated for minor burns and smoke inhalation โฆ On Friday BCFD Chief Dwayne Jamison will recognize him as an Honorary Bartow County Firefighter and present him with a Lifesaving Award.โ
โIf it wasnโt for Noah, I mean, we were all asleep, so we wouldnโt have known what was going on,โย David Woods, Noahโs grandfather, said.ย โWe couldโve all lost our lives.โ
Although the entire family was safe, their home was a total wreck. To help this family rebuild their home, people all over the world donated to help the family with the expenses.
โIf it wasnโt for Noah, we may not be here today,โย David wrote.
Noah deserves the recognition! If it wasnโt for this brave young man, the family was not going to make it. Please consider sharing this amazing story on Facebook to show the courage and intellect of this 5 year old hero!
