I would have to say that it was Divine Intervention that inspired nine year old boy Juan Gomez to wake up around 2am on Wednesday to alert his mom and members of his family to leave their home which is located in Kings Mobile Home Park when Juan woke up and he started to smell something that was not right. When Juan went to check out what was the source of the odd smell, he saw flames in the area of the mobile home, he went to wake up his mother Ana to inform her that their home was on fire. The good news is that thanks to Juan alerting his mom Ana about the fire, Juan along with his mom were able to get his sisters and his two pet dogs out of danger's way and into safety. The firefighters of the Saylor Township Fire Department answered the call for help as they were able to douse the flames of the mobile home quickly. The cause of the trailer park fire is being investigated by the authorities. Ana who is the mother of Juan is grateful that her son managed to wake her up since she admitted that she was asleep when the fire started. It is nice to see young children doing their part to alert their loved ones when a disaster is happening in their homes to save their lives.

That is true since Juan happened to wake up in the middle of the night to alert his relatives that the mobile home caught fire.

@RubyHawk Sorry to learn what happened to your niece's home last year due to house fire.

@Deepizzaguy my nieces house caught on fire. Her sons room was on the other side of the house. He woke up when the ceiling was about ready to fall in. He went out his window and around to his mothers room and broke her window out. She barely got out before the roof fell in. They escaped by the skin oh their teeth. They had nothing and it was a cold night. They flagged a car passing by to take them to a relative. They had no shoes or anything. That was last winter and they’re just now getting back on their feet.

Juan is indeed a hero since his mom admitted that he is her hero and angel.

I wonder if they had a fire alarm in the home? I'm glad that Juan was able to wake up his mother and all were able to exit the house safely.

That is a good question since I have never lived in a trailer home before.

I agree with you that it is a miracle that Juan was alerted to warn his relatives that the mobile home was on fire.
