Last week, Arianna Prince woke to find a cabinet in her familyâs Winnsboro, Louisiana, home was on fire. The six-year-old quickly woke her mother, Misty Gorman, who rushed to get the rest of the family safely out of the house.
The familyâs home was destroyed in the fire, but fortunately no one was injured. Now Gorman is crediting her baby girl with saving the whole family. âI didnât even hear the smoke alarms. She did,â the proud mama says, âShe was very brave."
Days after the incident, the Winnsboro Fire Department honored Arianna with the Citizen Life Saving Award. Interim Fire Chief Mikala Weems praised the six-year-old for her lifesaving response, saying, âIâm so grateful to Arianna for waking up her family and getting them out of the house, so that we didnât have more tragedy added to the losing of their home.â
