Authorities in Orange County say a 7-year-old boy didn’t hesitate when he smelled smoke at his home, waking up his sleeping father so the pair could escape a spreading fire.

The Orange County Register says the boy was getting ready for bed Saturday night when he smelled smoke and saw that the garage of his Costa Mesa home was engulfed in flames.

Fire Capt. Chris Coates says the boy ran to wake his father, who had fallen asleep watching television. The two ran out of the house as the fire spread from the garage to a motorhome in the driveway and to a neighbor’s storage shed.

Firefighters stopped the flames before they spread to the main living area of the house. The cause is under investigation.

    True, but we can’t fix the problem until he is out. Then changes will have to be made in our gov’t and we all will have to work together to bring us back to the Best Country that we were.

    WE also should stop the politicians from getting the pay for the rest of their life and the insurance that our taxes are paying for them. They do not have Obama care and or Meidcare . When we left our jobs we did not get paid for the rest of our life.
