A Georgia pre-teen saved her older brothers from potentially perishing in a fire that consumed the left side of the family’s two-story home.
She’s been hailed by the family and community as a hero, who saved the most important things the family had while everything else was destroyed in the fire: each other.
The Johnson family of 6 had only moved into the house a few months before the fire started last Monday in their garage.
As it raged across the ground floor, Macy arrived home on the school bus and saw the fire.
WJCL News didn’t say whether she knew her two older brothers were in the house, but in any case she ran to the door and began screaming that the house was on fire.
“My oldest son was preparing to go to work. He was in the shower, again, had no idea until she started screaming,” said Macy’s mother Lisa Johnson, who said her second-oldest son was asleep in his room over the garage. “She’s an incredible girl and I’m very proud of her.”

Firefighters from Richmond Hill and Bryan County arrived quickly and stopped the fire before it consumed the entire house. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
“Hard as it is to know that we’ve lost almost everything, that we have a lot of memories, a lot of good things, we have each other and we have God,” Mrs. Johnson said. “And I have faith in him and there’s a reason for everything.”
