Brandon Dahl is still learning how to talk, but he’s already a life-saving hero. While the rest of his family was asleep, he was the only one aware of the fire quickly growing inside their living room, the very place where the child was sleeping. He was staying there because he had been sick, and his parents wanted him closer to their room.
布兰登·达尔仍在学习如何说话,但他已经是一个拯救生命的英雄了。当他的家人都在睡觉的时候,他是唯一一个意识到他们客厅里的火很快就生出来了的人,就在这个孩子睡觉的地方。他呆在那里是因为他生病了,他的父母希望他离他们的房间更近。
Though the fire was growing around him, this brave little boy made his way to his parents room to let them know that something was wrong. “He tapped me on my feet in bed and was coughing and saying, ‘Mama, hot. Mama, hot,’” his mom, Kayla Dahl said . “I turned around. I looked and all I saw was the fire in the doorway.”
尽管他周围的火势越来越大,这个勇敢的小男孩还是去了他父母的房间,让他们知道出了什么事。“他在床上拍了拍我的脚,咳嗽着说,'妈妈,热。妈妈,热,'”他的妈妈,凯拉·达尔说。“我转过身来。我看了看,只看到门口的火。”
Kayla began to scream, “fire,” quickly waking up Nathan. As a volunteer fireman, he first expected to jump into action to save both his family and their house. But his plans shifted when he saw that the fire had already grown to 6 feet tall. “My heart just dropped,” he said . “In my head, I already knew this house was gone. We had to get out.”
凯拉开始尖叫,“开火”,很快叫醒了内森。作为一名志愿消防员,他首先希望采取行动拯救他的家人和他们的房子。但是当他看到火势已经发展到6英尺高时,他的计划改变了。“我的心刚刚下降,” 他说。“在我的脑海里,我已经知道这所房子不见了。我们必须出去。”
Using the escape plan they’d practiced with their kids many times before, they got out in less than a minute, swiftly making them to their neighbor’s yard across the street. While waiting for firefighters to arrive, Nathan turned off the gas in their house from the outside to lower the chance of an explosion. But as the winds picked up, he feared they were about to have a new problem. “I just went to Kayla, who is on the phone with 911, and I told them the dangerous situation,” he said.
利用他们之前和孩子们练习过很多次的逃跑计划,他们在不到一分钟的时间内就出来了,很快就把他们带到了街对面邻居的院子里。在等待消防员到来的时候,内森从外面关掉了他们房子里的煤气,以降低爆炸的可能性。但是随着风的加快,他担心他们会有新的问题。“我刚去找凯拉,他正在和911通电话,我告诉了他们危险的情况,” 他说。
