5-Year-Old Noah Woods Saves His Entire Family from House Fire

Five-year-old Noah Woods is being hailed as a hero after rescuing his entire family of nine from a devastating house fire.

The fire broke out early one Sunday morning in 2020 while Noah was sleeping. He woke up to see flames in his bedroom, but instead of panicking, he jumped into action. Noah grabbed his 2-year-old sister, Lily, and the family dog, and led them out through the only escape route — a bedroom window.

But Noah didn’t stop there.

Once they were safe, he went back inside the burning home to alert his uncle, helping ensure the rest of the family could get out in time. Thanks to his quick thinking and bravery, all nine family members survived the blaze.

While Noah and a few others were treated for minor burns and smoke inhalation, no one suffered serious injuries. The fire, later determined to be caused by an electrical issue, completely destroyed the family’s home.

In recognition of his courage, the Bartow County Fire Department made Noah an honorary firefighter and presented him with a Lifesaving Award.

“If it wasn’t for Noah, we may not be here today,” said his grandfather, David Woods. “He saved all our lives.”
