VIDEO: Isaac Detton was staying up late in his second-floor bedroom early Friday morning when the 15-year-old saw a bright light outside his window. He thought he better take a look. The teen felt heat as he pulled back the curtains and realized something was wrong.
“The house was on fire,” Detton said.
The rest of the family was sleeping. Detton immediately ran to get his parents and grandparents out of the house.
“He was calm,” said Sarah Chavez, Detton’s mother.
The teen woke up his parents who were sleeping on the first floor. Then helped his grandparents, who were sleeping in the basement, get out before anyone was harmed.
“He was able to save us and keep a cool head,” said Beth Chavez, Detton’s grandmother.
He credits Detton for calling 911 quickly and letting firefighters know everyone was out of the house when first responders arrived.
