9 year old Shakiah Mason is being praised for saving her 5 siblings from the fire that destroyed their house. She had the presence of mind, when she saw the smoke and her parents screaming, to grab the four toddlers and 4 month old baby and get them out so "my mommy could get the fire out and not worry about us." Mrs. Mason says they tried to put out the fire and when they realized it was too big they got out of the house and all that was going through her mind was the family that had lost their five children to a fire earlier that week. You can imagine her surprise and relief when she got outside and saw her little girl standing on the sidewalk with the toddlers and infant. here is the link.
