The boy saved his grandmother from the fire


In Kharkiv, an 8-year-old boy named Artem showed true heroism when a fire broke out in their apartment. The boy's actions were so courageous that the State Emergency Service could not help but praise his deed.



Artem sprang into action when he saw smoke in the apartment due to a short circuit. Immediately calling 101, the boy informed the rescuers about the threat and their address. It is important to note that at the same time, he cared for his grandmother, who could not get out of the apartment due to limited mobility.


«There is a fire in my apartment, and my grandmother can't get out on her own!» - said Artem to the rescuers.


After receiving the call, firefighters quickly arrived at the scene. Smoke was visible on the 4th floor of the 9-story building, and they swiftly helped the boy and his grandmother get outside and saved them from danger. Meanwhile, the firefighters successfully extinguished the fire.



Call from the rescuers


The rescuers emphasized that thanks to the boy's timely and caring reaction, they were able to save not only him but also his grandmother. This case is a vivid example of how important it is to teach children to act in emergency situations, how to call for help correctly, and how to provide necessary information.


«Dear parents! Teach your children to act like Artem!» - the rescuers urged.


This story stands as proof that skills must be learned in advance, as they can save lives in emergency situations. Timely reaction and assistance are crucial to avoid tragedies.


Artem's actions during the fire aptly demonstrate the necessity of teaching children to respond in extreme situations and how important it is to follow safety rules at home.
