Little Donnacha McCauley is lucky to have escaped with only burns after the terrifying incident at the family home in Ramelton earlier this week.
And but for the heroic actions of his older brother Dualtach, 15, the situation could have been much worse.
Mum Nicola McCauley revealed how she put her six year old son to bed earlier in the evening and he was followed by his older brother at 11.30pm.
