NORFOLK TEENS SAVE CHILDREN FROM HOUSE FIRE

"I'm just thankful the little kids are all right," said William Johnson, 17.

Johnson, who lives on the second floor of the three-story building, saw smoke pouring out of the building around 1:30 a.m. when he went outside to check on the weather.

Johnson and Antwon Jenkins, 14, who also lives in the building, rescued three children. A fourth was rescued by a firefighter.

All the children were taken to Sentara Norfolk General Hospital for treatment of smoke inhalation.

Johnson was treated for first-degree burns on his back, and both he and Jenkins also were treated for smoke inhalation.
