Summary
- A 14-year-old boy bravely saved his family during a house fire.
- He remembered fire safety and closed his door before rescuing his mother.
- The family lost their home and possessions in the 9 November blaze.
A heroic 14-year-old boy, Rhys, is credited with saving his family from a devastating fire that destroyed their rented home in Mold, Flintshire, on November 9th. While his mother, Amy, initially tried to combat the flames, Rhys’s quick thinking and knowledge of fire safety proved crucial.
Remembering to close his bedroom door, Rhys then bravely rescued his mother, dragging her from the burning house while on the phone with emergency services. Tragically, the fire consumed many irreplaceable family belongings, including photographs and memorabilia stored in the attic, leaving the family homeless and temporarily residing in a hotel.
In response to their plight, a friend has established a crowdfunding appeal to support the family as they seek new accommodation. Amy expressed deep gratitude for the overwhelming support from the comedy community, highlighting the strong bonds and willingness to rally around those in need during difficult times.
