A 10-year-old Emirati boy named Ahmed Haitham Ahmed Al Naqbi saved his family from a dangerous fire in Sharjah.
The incident occurred around 2 am in the Kalba area of the emirate. Ahmed woke up sensing a burning smell from his bedroom and quickly alerted his father, Haitham Ahmed Al-Naqbi.
Upon investigation, Haitham discovered a fire originating from the air conditioning unit above Ahmed’s bed. He swiftly evacuated his two younger sons, Nahyan (9 years old) and Maktoum (8 years old), who were asleep when the AC caught fire.
The family escaped to safety as the fire alarm alerted authorities. The civil defence team arrived in time to prevent the fire from spreading further. Haitham praised his son’s rapid response, emphasizing Ahmed’s sense of responsibility and protective nature towards his family.
Despite his young age, Ahmed is a dedicated football player and excels academically, always seeking to develop his skills.
