Russian Boy Saves Four Siblings from Burning Flat

MOSCOW, December 21 (RIA Novosti) – A seven-year-old boy has saved his four younger siblings from a burning flat in the southern Urals Republic of Bashkortostan, local emergencies said Saturday.

The boy was watching over his two brothers and two sisters while their mother went to a local shop. He was busy cooking dinner for the family when the fire broke out in the apartment. He realized that the blaze had been started by his brother, 2, who was playing with the matches in his room and set a pillow on fire, before locking himself in a wardrobe.

The boy saw the smoke and leaped into action, grabbing the children. No one was hurt in the incident. A total of 19 people, including nine children, were evacuated during the fire.

Seven years old and able to cook dinner for the family.  That's impressive.
Five kids aged seven and younger: that seems like a big family for Russia.

If that was in the US the mom would've been in big trouble with CPS, for leaving the children unsupervised. That was still good that a 7 year old can make dinner and had enough sense to get all the other children out.
