RIP Tyler Doohan, the 8 year old brave
child, sacrificed his life saving his Kins

Tyler Doohan, an 8 year old boy, from East Rochester, New York, United States, was staying at his relative's single wide mobile home in the nearby town. The Penfield fire chief Chris Ebmeyer said that Tyler noticed the fire, and alarmed the family  and fire fighters.

While the fire fighters were on their way to the house, Tyler woke up six other people in the trailer, including two children, who were of 4 and 6 years of age.

Tyler then went back to help his disabled Grandpa, who would have been unable to get out without his help. 


As Ebmeyer says, "by that time the fire had reached to the back of the trailer". As reported by the CNN, he quoted "unfortunately they both succumbed to heat and smoke.", he also stated that the pair was found together on a bed in the back room of the trailer.

It seemed as the boy was trying to lift his grandfather from the bed as he would have overcome the smoke.

Also, an online fundraising campaign has collected nearly $28000 for the boy's funeral and for his family.



RIP Tyler Doohan, May he Rest In Peace at the Heaven
