Young son's quick thinking saves family after home goes up in flames

A Dublin mum revealed how her young son's quick thinking saved her family's life after their house went on fire.

Ana Carolan, 23, was at work when a small fire started in the bedroom she shared with her four-year-old son, Kalvin, at their family home in Ballyfermot on Sunday afternoon. Ana told Dublin Live: "It was a faulty socket in my bedroom that I share with my son. My son was in the bedroom when it went off.

"He ran downstairs to his nanny to tell her there was a small fire but when she went upstairs the whole thing was just up in flames. So if it wasn’t for him, everyone in the house would have been gone."
