Noah Woods, who lives in Bartow, Georgia, woke up in the middle of the night to the sight of flames in his bedroom.
Thanks to a series of actions that authorities say may have saved eight lives in total, Noah received a rare “Lifesaving Award" on Feb.
14.
He was also named an honorary firefighter for life.
Noah first saved himself and his 2-year-old sister by climbing out of their house through a window.
He then went back inside the house to save the family’s dog.
After that, Noah ran next door to his uncle’s house and got help.
The two managed to wake up everyone inside the house before the fire became too severe.
Noah and four of his family members were taken to a hospital with minor burns, but no one was severely harmed.
A GoFundMe page set up by Noah’s family says the flames were reportedly the result of an electrical fire that destroyed the entire home.
The family is currently staying in a motel and is asking for donations to help them rebuild
