A seven year-old boy is being hailed as a hero after he led his two younger brothers to safety. The three boys were left home alone in an apartment in Burtonsville’s Knight’s Bridge apartment complex when a fire broke out in their second floor apartment.
The seven year-old led his four and five year-old brothers to an apartment next door and an adult led the boys and several other children to safety.
A spokesman for the Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Department says the blaze apparently began in the kitchen.
The fire caused an estimated 100,000 dollars damage to the apartment complex in thee 3300 block of Teagarden Circle.
The boys’ mother said she left the apartment for no more than 20 minutes to call a babysitter who had not arrived.
