Brody, an 11-Year-Old Boy From Tennessee, is Credited With Rescuing his Family From a FireOne of the most important and practical life lessons that Kimberly Sims and her husband have imparted to their children is about emergency and disaster response.On December 5, 2021, this lesson was proven to be very useful. A fire that started from their kitchen damaged their entire home. It was a devastating moment for the entire family, especially because they were not able to salvage a lot of things from the home. Despite this unfortunate event, the Sims are thankful that everyone in their family made it out safely. They are especially thankful for the quick thinking of their 11-year-old child.  The children were left alone when Kimberly went to walk their dogs for a few minutes. Eleven-year-old Brody was in charge of watching his four siblings. When he heard his sisters scream "fire", he held his sibling and ushered the others outside while his other sister called 911. After this incident, Kimberly believes that while they may have lost everything, they still have all that mattered because they have their family intact.#Fire #Disaster #Emergency #Family Image credit: News Channel 5
