Tyler Sowden was on a phone call in his family’s Cleveland home Friday when he heard a scream. Sowden, 16, rushed outside and saw black smoke pouring from a nearby house. He ran to his garage, grabbed a ladder — and filled with adrenaline — raced with the roughly 100-pound ladder past about 10 houses until he reached the one on fire. A woman, a baby and a child were on the home’s second-story porch roof. The woman screamed for help as smoke billowed behind her. Sowden set up the ladder, then climbed up and grabbed the 11-month-old with his left arm while holding the ladder with his right. https://lnkd.in/gpyjcXa7
A leader in the making
Brilliantly done, and so fast too, we need more people who spring into action when the situation calls for it.
