7-year-old boy saves family after home goes up in flames in Bear, Delaware

BEAR, Delaware (WPVI) -- A young boy is being credited with saving his family after a home went up in flames due to a pellet stove malfunction in Delaware on Thursday.
"I was upstairs with my baby cousin," said 7-year-old Yanique Rainford Jr. recalling the scary moments after a fire broke out inside his grandfather's home on the 200 block of Rice Drive in Bear.
Yanique was in the house with his 2-year-old cousin Liam Rainford and his 92-year-old great-grandmother Rosamond Rainford.
"And then I came downstairs to get water and then I saw a fire," Yanique said.
Yanique says he ran upstairs to get his baby cousin out of the house and ran back in for his great-grandmother.
