Four quick-thinking youngsters were honored on Wednesday for saving a woman from a house fire in Pennsylvania.

The children acted fast when they spotted smoke coming from a house near their playground. One quickly dialed 911, while the others ran over to the house and knocked on the door, 6ABC reported.

If they hadn’t, Kayla Hobbs, who was sleeping on the second floor of her parents’ Elkins Park home, may have woken up too late.

“They’re amazing because usually, if I was somebody I wouldn’t be the first person to just run over here. And they just ran over here and said ‘Your house is on fire,’ and called police before I even got to call police. They really saved me because I thought someone was cooking out,” Hobbs said.
