Michigan Man Saves 4 Small Children From Burning Building
Four very young children are alive today because of the heroic actions of their father in Warren, Michigan.
Ladarrel Brown had the scare of his life when he woke up to find his apartment on fire just after 4 A.M. Wednesday morning. He quickly jumped into action as he felt smoke begin to fill his lungs. Brown had 4 children ages 3, 4, 6, and 8 asleep in another room. He ran to wake them up and then jump out of their first-floor window. The problem is, the kids didn't follow him out according to his conversation with WMYD in Detroit,
That's the scariest part. When you don't see your kids and they're not coming and all you can just do is yell and just hope they come and listen to your voice.
Everyone made it out of the early morning apartment fire alive thanks to the fast thinking of Ladarrel Brown. However, his oldest daughter 8-year-old Laurii'ell is suffering from injuries. Laurii'ell is currently in stable condition at the Children's Hospital of Michigan in Detroit.
