An elderly South Carolina woman didn’t realize her house was on fire until two teenage neighbors pulled her out of the burning building.

Logan Campbell and step-brother James Brown were startled by an exploding electrical transformer in the middle of the night. When they went to check it out, they realized their neighbor Pearl Mabry’s house was engulfed in flames.

“I’ve known her my whole life, and she’s helped my grandma raise me. I’d do anything for her,” Brown told WBTW News.

What he and Campbell did was race into the burning house.

The 89-year-old Mabry was still asleep as the building was going up in flames all around them. She said she wasn’t even sure why the were helping her out of the house until she was outside.

In the end, none of them were hurt, and the boys proved they would do anything for neighbor Pearl.
