An eight-year-old has been praised for his calmness after he successfully called 999 and guided fire crews to a neighbour’s house that had caught fire.
Cody Peterson, of Cardiff Road, Watford, was asked to call emergency services by his parents while they rushed to try to help their neighbours at around 7pm on March 18.
Cody successfully guided the emergency services to the location of the fire, where three fire crews fought the flames.
Fortunately, the burning home’s resident had been outside of their home at the time and was later found safe.
Cody’s parents, Jo and Ray Peterson, had rushed over to the property with a fire extinguisher and crowbar, but quickly found the fire to be too severe for them to face.
