12-year-old saves three siblings

OMAHA, Dec. 14 (UPI) -- A 12-year-old boy says he feels like a "superhero" for getting his three siblings from their burning home in Omaha, KETV reported.

Police said shortly after the parents of the four children left for work about 5 a.m. Tuesday the 12-year-old smelled smoke. The oldest brother went upstairs and found smoke and fire, called the fire department and then got everyone safely out of the home.

The boy said he "felt like a superhero" for saving his siblings from the fire that authorities said probably was caused by an electrical problem, KETV reported.
