NEW ORLEANS -- DeShawn Labarriere is like any typical 7-year-old; ready to play. But his actions early Saturday morning has friends and family calling him a little hero.

“A lot of fire started before I woke up,” explained DeShawn. DeShawn’s mother, Brittany Labarriere, explained she had dropped him off at the babysitters home around 10:30 p.m. Friday. Hours later, she got a call that there had been a fire.

“Words can’t explain, thank god I live right around the corner,” said Labarriere. Deshawn was sleeping on a sofa next to the wall where the fire started.

“I thought I heard like fireworks, but who could shoot fireworks late at night like that?," explained DeShawn. "It was fire.” So he said he got up, put a blanket over his head to protect himself and began helping wake everyone up in the house.

And some people complain that I only post negative threads.. This is what happens when I post something positive. It does not look like the OT wants it. I am reverting back.

Seems so many times that I read threads like this, only later to find out it was the 7 yr old that caused the fire
