EAST ST. LOUIS, Ill. (AP) - As flames consumed her home and prevented her parents from rescuing her and two younger siblings, a quick-thinking 12-year-old girl saved the other children Saturday by kicking out a second-story window and helping them down, firefighters said.
Derrionna Adams then leaped 15 feet to safety, East St. Louis Fire Chief William Fennoy said.
"She kicked the window out and stepped up onto the roof of the first floor and was able to pull her two siblings out," Fennoy said. "This was a blessed day."
