God damnit man..... His courage and empathy is just beyond the roof .. this news just made me emotionalThis little boy was a hero. He did everything he could to save his loved ones in a time of need.
It's sad that there were so many people living and sleeping in such a small home. However, I'm sure plenty of us know folks in the same situation due to this economy.
Mobile homes have little survival rate when fires like this happen and they are extremely susceptible to fire.
Tyler J. Doohan knew he didn't have school Monday because of the holiday and asked his mother if it would be OK if he stayed at his grandfather's trailer here.
Tyler knew the place well. He stayed there frequently, playing with other kids in the Rochester, N.Y. suburb and having barbecues and bonfires with his family in the summer.
Tyler was able to wake six people. including two other children ages 4 and 6, all of whom escaped. Tyler died when he tried to help Smith, who uses a wheelchair and crutches because he was without part of a leg.

The relatives who escaped the fire, whom neighbors said included Tyler's grandmother, aunt and cousins, were taken to a hospital Strong Memorial Hospital with injuries that were not considered life threatening. One woman suffered second-degree burns as she helped others from the burning trailer, Ebmeyer said.
