It was 3:12 a.m.when nineyearold Glenn Kreamer awoke to the smell of burning.Except for the cracking of flames somewhere below there was not a sound in the twostory house at Baldwin,Long Island.With his father away on night duty at a local factory,Glenn was worried about the safety of his mother,his sister Karen,14 and his 12yearold brother Todd.He ran downstairs through the smokefilled house to push and pull Karen and Todd until they sat up.Then he helped each one through the house to the safety of the garden.There,his sister and brother,taking short and quick breaths and coughing,collapsed on the lawn.
The nineyearold boy raced back into the house and upstairs to his mother's room.He found it impossible to wake her up.Mrs Kreamer,a victim of the smoke,was unconscious,and there was nobody to help Glenn carry her to the garden.But the boy remained calm and,as a fireman said later,“acted with all the selfcontrol of a trained adult”.
On the bedroom telephone,luckily still wording,Glenn called his father and,leaving Mr Kreamer to telephone the fire brigade and ambulance service,got on with the task of saving his mother.
First he filled a bucket with water from the bathroom and threw water over his mother and her bed.Then,with a wet cloth around his head he went back to the garden.
