4-Year-Old Hero Saves Baby Brother From Drowning In Pool - Inspirational Videos

A 4-year-old hero saves his baby brother from drowning in a pool. This positive news story is incredible!

So young, yet so brave. Picture this - a toddler with the intuition to save his brother. He may not know how to do it, but instinctively he does, braving the potential danger in front of him.

Out in Placentia, California, Mason Ochoa has become the youngest member on an elite team of firefighters who hold a special heroic distinction. He met the criterias of being quite heroic for his young age.

When he saw his young brother Nicolas fall into his family’s pool, he reacted immediately. Mason reached for Nicolas’ arm, and held his brother’s head above water. At the same time he yelled for help.

Raul Velez, Mason’s grandfather made this comment about the boy. “He was a fast learner, so he learned to swim. He knows how to swim. So that helped us a lot because he's only four years old.”

There was a fence previously around the pool, but after Mason’s parents sold the house, the fence had been removed. Thus, there was always the potential for this accident to occur.

Nonetheless, the young hero was present and ready to help his brother in need.

For his incredible feat he was given a fire department challenge coin and an honorary patch.

After receiving his accolades, Mason was able to dive into the firefighter lifestyle, donning a firefighter helmet and jacket, which was almost bigger than he was. With adult guidance, Mason sprayed water from a fire hose. And he even spent time helping community members by learning to tie bandages.

This kid has done something spectacular, and life-saving. Surely he deserves all the attention and love he receives. Thankfully too, his brother Nicholas has recovered from the incident.

“A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.”
Proverbs 17:17
