Diel Rhinehart who is a high school senior at Gwynn Park High School in Prince Georges County Maryland credits his training as a firefighter through the Prince George's County Fire Cadet Program which is a way for high school students who attend Gwynn Park High School and Charles Herbert Flowers High School. Diel used his training to save his younger brother who had to boil eggs but turned the wrong burner on and he made the error of leaving the kitchen. When the younger brother of Diel came back and he saw the flames. he tried to put out the fire and he received burns on both of his arms. When Diel's younger brother tried to put out the fire by using water, the flames burned both of his arms since water and flames do not work together. Diel used flour to put out the fire and get the pot out of the kitchen to take it outside on Sunday in January. Diel was awarded the fire chiefs award for heroism recently by the fire department. Diel plans to enroll at North Carolina Central University in the autumn and major in nursing. Diel admits that without taking firefighter courses during his high school years, he would have panicked and not be able to save the life of his younger brother.
