Mandy Eggleston

​An 11-year-old girl, Mandy Eggleston, saved her family from a devastating house fire caused by a lightning strike. Mandy's quick thinking and bravery ensured her mom and brother escaped safely, as she pushed them out of their shaking home. Despite spraining her ankle, her mom, Jamie, praised Mandy for her calm, adult-like actions, including staying out of the house once everyone was safe.
​
The Eggleston family later reunited with Fire Station 13, tearfully thanking the firefighters for their efforts. Though they lost their two cats and much of their home, the family chose to rebuild in Oklahoma, moved by the “Oklahoma Standard” and acts of kindness they received.

This tragedy highlighted Mandy's heroism and bravery, proving extraordinary acts can come from even the youngest among us
