FORT WORTH, Texas — A 12-year-old girl is being hailed as a hero for saving her family as authorities said carbon monoxide was filling their home in Fort Worth, Texas.
She called 911 and quickly asked for help.
The fire department said in a statement to ABC News that if Jaziyah hadn't made the crucial call, her entire family wouldn't be alive today. Accidental carbon monoxide poisoning causes at least 430 deaths each year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. With Jaziyah's family, firefighters say the family accidentally left their car running in the garage.
