Hero schoolgirl saves baby from horror fire after hoverboard explodes

A hero schoolgirl helped save her mum and two young cousins after a horror fire broke out at the family home.

Amirah, 12, jumped into action when the lithium battery in her hoverboard suddenly exploded in the early hours of Monday. She immediately rushed to wake up her mum Louise Cromack, who was asleep in the living room of their ground-floor flat with her two nieces, five-week-old baby Emily and five-year-old Edith. All four, along with Amirah's brother Dan managed to escape the blaze.

Louise, 33, told Yorkshire Live : "She saved my life, her brother Dan and her two cousins. We're lucky to be alive. The fire brigade said she was so lucky not to even get a single burn. I am so proud of my hero, my Amirah."
