Fox News
A young girl in the U.K. is being hailed a hero after she rushed into her own burning house to alert her mom and two younger siblings to the blaze; they'd been napping on the sofa.
That's when she realized that the roof of her family's semi-detached home in Riccall, North Yorkshire, England, was on fire, according to the U.K. newspaper The Times. "She's six years old and ran [into] a burning building." Maureen Mackey is managing editor of lifestyle for Fox News Digital.
Without hesitating, the girl apparently ran into the property — where she found her 29-year-old mother, Laura Patterson, taking a nap on the sofa with little brother Joel-James, age one, and sister Tiffany, age two.
