The way she yanked on the 3-year old boy's arm was incredible. Fortunately, he did not fight her and all got out just fine. Congrats to the young lady for an excellent example of courage under fire.

You can hear the panic in her voice, but also her urgency and sense of duty. Her bravery overcame her fear. Girls rock!!! You did amazing, Savannah!! But be sure to unpack your feelings about all of this... this kind of thing can leave lasting trauma. Confide in your loved ones and they will support you 💕 Again, great job!!

May this young lady have a very blessed and happy life! It stories like these makes me restore my faith in humanity.

Smart Kid. Very selfless and apparently actually babysitting instead of teenaging. Great hire for the children's parent(s). Good job to the babysitter!

[OscarMeyerJon]

Wow! That is impressive how she maintained her composure and got the kids AND the dog out so quickly. She did better than 95% of adults would have.

[MikeySkywalker]

She’s adorable. Just a kid. Good for her. I’m glad she’s being recognized.

[brittanylightbourn]

God bless this teenager for saving these babies.

[fredflintstone]

Being not afraid under pressure like that means she will go far in life. A lot of people say they can handle pressure but when a situation occurs under a lot of pressure like this, no one really knows how they will act until it happens. She’s proven herself that she would be a good firefighter if she chooses that profession.

Savannah you did an amazing job. Your quick thinking got you and those babies out in time ❤

[screenapple]

Parents should give her hug for saving dog and two kids. Property damage is replaceable. Not human life or dog life.

[zoenoelle]

the fact that the three year old wasn't moving must have been more stressful for her but i'm glad she got everyone out!
