Teens Save Five People, Dog From Fire
Earlier this month, there was a fire at an apartment building in Bellevue, Kentucky in the wee hours of the morning. Two teenage boys drove by the building, saw smoke and flames and woke up everyone inside. The teens are credited with saving the lives of a woman, her three grandchildren, a man, plus a pet dog. The tenants were able to escape with only minor burns. One of the heroic teens, Andrew (Dewey) Barnes, comes to the Dayton Teen Center on a regular basis. What a shining example of asset development at its finest! Please click here to view complete story details on the Channel 12 News website.
