CLINTON, Md. — A 13-year-old boy who made a dramatic call to 911 and his 9-year-old sister were rescued from a house fire Sunday morning by Prince George’s County firefighters.

As the boy talked with the 911 operator, he remained remarkably calm and communicative, trying to keep his little sister calm as well.

The kids were trapped on the second floor as the fire burned on the first floor of the home at 9609 Small Drive in Clinton. Three adults had escaped the fire, firefighters say.
