‘Nobody got hurt. We got smoked up a little bit, but we’re all still alive,’ he continued.Bartow County Fire Department Chief Dwayne Jamison named Noah an honorary firefighter and the youngster will receive a rare lifesavers’ award typically awarded to professional rescuers on Friday.
Jamison praised Noah’s heroics and told CNN that the fire was caused by an overloaded electrical outlet in the boy’s bedroom. ‘We’ve seen children alert their family’s before. But for a five-year-old to be alert enough to do this…that’s pretty extraordinary,’ Jamison said.The fire reportedly left the Woods’ home uninhabitable and the family does not have insurance, but their community is donating clothing to replace what was lost in the fire.
A GoFundMe campaign has raised nearly $16,000 as of Friday morning for the family who said they plan to stay in a motel or rent a small house while they rebuild their home.
