Tyler Sowden , 16 , grabbed a ladder and raced past about 10 houses until he reached the one on fire.

A woman, a baby and a child were on the home’s second -story porch roof when he grabbed the baby and the ladder.

The family was treated for smoke inhalation at a local hospital and were quickly released.

Sowden who enjoys drawing cars and playing survival video game DayZ on his Xbox said the incident made him consider his future career. Being a firefighter is now top of his list. “I didn’t really have a plan until this kind of happened,” Sowden said. “I’m like, Maybe that’s a sign.'”.
