7YO CDA Girl Saves Brother’s Life

A seven-year-old Coeur d'Alene girl is being commended for saving her five-year-old brother during a recent sledding expedition on their grandparents' property. Maya and her little brother Mason were sledding near Canfield Mountain nearly two weeks ago when they fell into a cistern filled with more than eight feet of water. Maya was able to quickly climb out. "The little wall in there you can push yourself out because you can put feet on it and push yourself out," Maya said. Her little brother Mason however couldn't move and was trapped in more than eight feet of water/KXLY. More here.
