Good job, Jonathan James. You rock!

UNION COUNTY, N.C. — Fire officials in Union County are crediting a 6-year-old boy with saving his 2-year-old sister’s life by getting her out of their burning mobile home safely. “When she was in the house, I picked her up and walked out with her,” said Jonathan James.

The boy’s father, Charlie James, said he was cleaning in another room when his sons ran in to tell him the home was on fire. “As soon as I opened the door, smoked started rolling in. I ran and Jonathan grabbed my daughter and the other two kids and they went running out.”
