An 11-year-old boy has been named a hero for going back into a burning house to save his two-year-old sister in Salisbury. The boy suffered "very minor burns" on his arm. The firefighters who came to put out the fire recognized the boy for his bravery.
According to the Maryland State Fire Marshal's Office report, the fire started on the second floor of the home due to an electrical malfunction. When the smoke alarms went off, the occupants of the house evacuated quickly. The little boy, upon reaching the street, realized that his little sister was still inside and went back for her.
