Fearless boy, 12, saves four siblings from burning house

5/16/2012

A 12-year-old Florida boy is being hailed as a hero after he rushed back inside his burning home three times to save his four younger siblings. Justin Jackson's parents were at work when a heavy storm knocked out power to the house. Justin and his brothers compensated by lighting candles. His aunt says, "'Next thing Justin knew, one of the younger boys said, 'There's a fire!'" Justin rescued his three brothers and three-year-old sister, kicking in a door to reach the little girl. Justin told his aunt, "I wasn't even scared of the fire. I was just worried about my family."
