Prom Night Heroics?

~ Pie President ~ Leave a comment

On May 17th, 2025, four high schoolers from Whitesboro High School in Marcy, New York (Aiden Kane, Morgan Randall, Donato Jellenich, and Tyler Sojda) were returning from their junior prom when they spotted a garage fire. Mistaking the orange glow for a bonfire at first, they quickly realized the danger and took action.

Kane alerted the family by shouting, “Your house is on fire!” as seen in cellphone footage, ensuring a father and his two daughters evacuated safely. Jellenich called 911, while Randall comforted the children, and Kane checked for pets inside.

Their quick response prevented the flames from reaching the main house, averting a potential tragedy. No one was injured, and the Maynard Fire Department Chief, Jared A. Pearl, praised their leadership and teamwork.

Kane, inspired by his father’s work in police and EMS, said the experience motivated him to help. The teens are being celebrated as heroes for their swift, selfless actions.

On May 20th, 2025, a dump truck crashed into a home in Woodbury Heights, New Jersey, on the 600 block of Stratford Avenue around 1:30 p.m.

The driver, identified as “Timmy” by his employer, suffered a grand mal seizure, causing him to lose control. The truck struck a utility pole before plowing into a two-story house, leading to a partial collapse that trapped the driver for over two hours.

Dashcam footage captured the incident, showing the moment of impact. Emergency crews rescued the driver, who was conscious and assessed by medics. Both the driver and the homeowner escaped major injury, though the home was destroyed.

A neighbor reported a gas leak at the scene, and Glassboro Road was closed for repairs to a damaged telephone pole. The trucking company called it a miracle no one was killed.

An 8 year old boy named Colton Koonooka-Kowchee heroically helped save his family from a house fire in White Mountain, a small village located in Western Alaska.

The fire broke out in the early morning of February 20th when his great grandmother, Roseann Titus, noticed flames coming from a bathroom in their multigenerational home.

As the fire spread into the hallway, blocking the main exit, Colton took decisive action. He jumped out of a window, dropping 10 feet into a snowdrift, and ran through deep snow to get help.

His quick thinking alerted a volunteer firefighter, Shane Bergamaschi, who assisted in the rescue efforts.

Colton’s actions ensured the safety of his family, including his great grandmother and mother, Venessa Marie Koonooka, preventing a potentially tragic outcome.

The family lost their home, but community support, including donations via Bering Air and a GoFundMe, has been rallying to help them recover.

Colton’s bravery has been widely praised, with many noting that his initiative likely saved lives and protected nearby homes from catching fire as well.
