Six Year Old Boy Saves Family From Fire
Talk about a clear head and calm reaction!
Six year old Ervin Rodriguez is recovering from smoke inhalation at Banner Children’s Hospital at Banner Desert Medical Center in Mesa.
“He was a sick little kid when he came here,” said Lisa Hegarty, clinical manager for respiratory care. She said black soot was being suctioned out of his lungs.
The fire started in the bedroom Ervin shared with his brother. He grabbed his brother and ran to wake his parents. They were able to escape just moments before the mobile home was consumed by the fire.
“He just inhaled so much smoke, bless his heart. He was so busy trying to get his family out of the house,” Hegarty said.
No one else was injured, but this family has lost everything. For now, Ervin’s very grateful parents are staying with him in the hospital and his little brothers are with their grandmother.
An account has been set up at Bank of America # 457009020948, to collect money for clothing and furniture.
Ervin is hero!
