A 7-year-old boy saved his baby sister from their burning Tennessee home, climbing through a window from the outside into her bedroom and pulling her to safety.
Chris and Nicole Davidson, both former firefighters, couldn't get to the bedroom where their 22-month-0ld daughter was because of flames in the living room, Nicole told WVLT-TV. They were able to grab their sons from their rooms before exiting the burning home.

Would that the leaders of our nation had the same heart and courage as this child! Praise the Lord for the family that raised this child!
The internal strength is the power of love ... he loves his little sister more than he fears the fire. That same power is why Jesus went to hat cruel cross for us.
He says it on the video. That’s who Trump fights for!

“I didn’t want my sister to die,” a 7-year-old Tennessee boy explained of rescuing his year-old sibling from a raging fire that destroyed their home on Tuesday.
Parents Nicole and Chris Davidson, two former firefighters, first smelled smoke in the middle of the night and quickly tried to get their three children out of their burning New Tazewell home, WVLT reported.
Nicole Davidson recalled the flames didn’t allow her to go to her 22-month-old daughters’ room.
That’s when little Eli Davidson came to the rescue.
After the family got out, Eli’s parents gave him a boost so he could enter his sister’s room through her window.
Once inside, he grabbed her from her crib and handed her to their father safely, before jumping back down again, according to WVLT.
Eli said he put his fears aside and solely focused on saving his baby sister.
“Dad busted the window and then I said, ‘I can’t do it,’ like two times, and then I said, ‘I got her dad,’” the boy told the outlet. “When we went down there I said, ‘I was scared but I didn’t want my sister to die.’”
