What this 15-year-old did is truly inspiring. When he realized that an advancing wildfire was bearing down on unwary neighbors, he climbed on his ATV to go warn them, and had to escape through the flames himself as a result. Motorized vehicles also have to breathe, and if his machine had stalled in the thick smoke and flames, this story could have had a much sadder ending. To top it off, the first online copy that I found of this Colorado-based story was in a UK news site! Thanks JD!
