5-yr-old boy rescues brother from blaze
Updated: 2013-08-05
BESUT (Bernama) – Throwing caution to the wind, a gutsy five-year-old boy rescued his younger brother from their house which was struck by fire in Kampung Kubang Depu recently.
Mohd Syawal Mohd Shukri grabbed his sibling, Mohd Syakir, four, and rushed out of the house when smoke billowed from the kitchen and one of the rooms in the incident about 11.30am.
At the time of the fire, both siblings were playing at the house, while their parents, Mohd Shukri Mohd Nor, 36, and Huslina Abd Rahman, 26, were away at work.
The couple had taken their youngest child, Mohd Syaril, three, along with them to their workplace.
Speaking to reporters, Mohd Syawal, the eldest of three children, said he and his brother sought shelter at their grandmother’s house nearby.
He said he ran for a distance to alert his father and residents as their house was quite isolated from the rest of the houses in the village.
Meanwhile, Mohd Shukri said he sped towards his house on a motorcycle when he saw smoke billowing from the village.
