The fire department says without Cayden Person banging on the neighbor's door, the outcome could've been deadly.
The Arlington Fire Department honored a 15-year-old boy for actions he took this week to alert his neighbors about a fire.It happened Saturday morning when Cayden’s dogs, Allie and Polo, started barking to go outside. He let them out, and that’s when he heard a crackling noise in a neighbor's yard. "I thought it was a bonfire. I didn't know why there was a bonfire at 7 a.m. in the morning," he recalled. "So I looked over my pool ladder, and I saw that there was fire.
Adam Evans with the Arlington Fire Department says the fire was in the attic right above the bedrooms. He says without Cayden coming to their door, the outcome could have been very different. "To be 15 years old, to think that quickly to do what he did, it’s pretty extraordinary," Evans said. "And we’re very proud of him." On Wednesday, the fire department presented Cayden with a lifesaving award for his actions.
