FLOMATON, Ala. -- A pair of Flomaton siblings are credited with saving the day after a house fire tore through their home just before 3 a.m. on Friday.It was a full circle moment for Flomaton's fire chief, who regularly goes to the children's school with firefighters to teach fire safety and hand safety cards out.
9-year-old Garrett Gill and his 11-year-old sister Keyiah were sleeping when the sound and smell of flames hit them. The two children share a room. The fire chief believes the flames started on the home's front porch. They weren’t able to escape from the front door, so they ran to the back of the house.
As smoke swirled around, the little boy plucked a tattered fire safety card that he'd stuck on the fridge.He followed the steps that he already memorized to get his uncle, grandfather, and sister out to safety.
