In Uberlândia, Brazil, a remarkable rescue unfolded when a grandmother, assisted by a neighbor, successfully saved five children from a burning house on Thursday night. The incident occurred in the Residential Integração neighborhood and began with an explosion in the electrical wiring before flames quickly engulfed the property. At the time of the fire, the grandmother was alone with her grandchildren, as the children's parents were away retrieving food donations for the family.

The heroic actions of the grandmother and her neighbor proved crucial as they managed to evacuate all the children safely before firefighters arrived on the scene. Witnesses reported that the flames had spread rapidly, consuming the three-room residence. The fire department received the emergency call around 10 PM and, upon arrival, faced a challenging situation with the building already fully ablaze.

Firefighters were able to control the situation after about 20 minutes of battling the flames with two lines of defense. This incident highlights the importance of community vigilance and quick response during emergencies, as the timely actions of the grandmother and neighbor likely prevented a tragic situation from worsening.
