Adonis Bell

A big pat on the back today to a young Huck’s Hero: 11-year-old Adonis Bell of South Chicago. It was around 3:30 a.m. when Adonis woke up smelling smoke. He went to the kitchen and saw the ceiling above the stove was on fire. Adonis kept calm, woke his mother, grabbed his two-year-old cousin and carried her over his shoulder like a firefighter and outside to safety. He then turned and ran back into the house to rescue his aunt, then ran to a neighbor’s to call 911. Thanks to his cool head, his entire family is safe. So how did he know exactly what to do? He said, “A fireman came to our school,” and he was paying attention. Well, maybe Adonis Bell will be a fireman himself someday. And if I’m ever in a fire, I sure hope he’s the one they send to rescue me!
