A brave schoolgirl, 6, deserves a medal after her heroic acts that saved her whole family from burning with the house.
What Happened?
The house was set on fire after a ‘phone charger caught fire’. Whereas, Olivia Patterson was playing across the road with a friend when she realised her home was burning.
How Olivia Saved Her Family
The young girl ran into the house where she found her mother Laura, 29, and her siblings Joel-James, one, and Tiffany, two, all asleep on the sofa.
Olivia woke her family up and all three escaped the fire unharmed thanks to her commendable actions.
Neighbors Didn’t Know They Were at Home
Her grandma Gelder said nobody actually went into the house to rescue Laura and the children, because they didn’t think anyone was home.
She said: ‘Olivia saw people in the street but she just ran in to wake her mum up.
‘She was shouting ‘wake up mum, the house is on fire – wake up the babies.’

Grandma continued: ‘The people in the street didn’t think anyone was in because there wasn’t a car on the drive.’
At the moment, the family are now staying in an Airbnb because they have lost almost everything in the blaze.
A fundraising page has been set up by Laura’s former colleagues to help support the family.
