A teenager who saved two toddlers from a “massive fire” in High Ridge in July will be recognized as a hero Monday afternoon, the city’s fire department said.
15-year-old Savannah Strother was babysitting the two children on July 9 when the home she was in caught fire.
“She acted without hesitation to get a 1-year-old and 3-year-old to safety without any injuries,” High Ridge Fire Protection District Fire Chief John Barton wrote on social media. “[She] was at a neighbor’s house babysitting two small children when a massive fire broke out, involving both the house she was in and [an adjacent] house.”

Did better then a mother who would freak out at this point
its the dog that is the hero
I love how she pulled the child's arm to get the child out quick-quick. No hesitation, it's NOW!
Looks to me like the dog is the true hero of this story and the babysitter was a good sidekick 😊
this is ai
That second kid is the first to die in any horror movie
Goooooodddddd doggggggggg 🐶
That’s a Minecraft dog sound
it's a shame they shot the dog at the end
No panic, just got the kids and dog outta there.
Amazing job from the dog and the babysitter who sprung into action
If I was the babysitter I would run like a Olympic runner with the kids
Fake. Who's that sitting on the porch?
I know she saved them, but didn’t she get sued by the kids’ parents for kidnapping them? I want to watch the entire court go down.
Ummm….. I think the hero is the dog standing in front of the door Barking at the fire
What an amazing young woman
Now that is a dog worth having
What a great team. That babysitter was so brave. And that dog was such a good boy/ girl. Dogs are so good to us. I hope they were all ok and made it out completely without being hurt.
The dog saved the two kids and the babysitter x3
Amen
Did the cops shoot the dog?
Is the fire outside? ☹️😣😞
Why does it look like they are entering the no safe zone-walking into the fire? 🔥
I dont really know what other people think the babysitters options were. The dog was invaluable but the babysitter literally did the only thing she could do. She wasn’t about to stay in the house like what???
GOD BLESS HER THEY TRICKED HER LIKE THE HOUSE WAS ON FIRE TO GET HER TO COME OUTSIDE
Awesome but doesn’t the fire look like it’s outside? Just shutting on the “house fire”. I don’t normally say much cause I feel like grammar police but am I wrong? Is this an apartment? I had one that had a window like this more like a condo but still am apartment
Stop Over dramatizing this. She walked out the door. 😅😅😅
Technically the dog saved them all
Plot twist dog started the fire
She left her phone on the table
Nice job leaving the door open for the fire to spread
