Curtis Kaiser Junior, 11, was playing games on his iPad on Tuesday January 27 in his parents' home in Arnold Missouri around 1:30am since his parents told him that he was not going to school on Tuesday.
Curtis smelled smoke inside of his parents' home when he was awake and he decided to wake up his parents when the father of Curtis saw a fire that started in the garage.
Curtis Junior called 911 to report the fire as his parents, family dog and his sister managed to leave the burning home safely before firefighters arrived to put the fire.
Thank goodness that there was minimal damage to the home and no one was hurt.
