4-Year-Old Carries Sister Safely Out Of Burning Home

Phoenix, Ariz., March 22 [1951] – (AP) – A 4-year-old boy carried his baby sister from their burning home last night before it and six other houses were consumed in flames.

The youngster, Charles Hanley, said: “I fetched my sister outside to save her from burning up.”

The fire started in the Hanley home and spread quickly to other frame houses, destroying six before the flames were controlled.

The children’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Hanley, were away.

“It got cold and I tried to light a fire in the stove,” Charles told firemen. “The big fire started when I dropped a match into a pile of papers near the stove.”

The boy’s sister, Deborah, is about nine months of age.
