“He has always indicated that he wants to be an EMT. “So he got to put that desire into action and immediately saved that young man,” said Johnson’s principal Latricia Dawkins in conversation with Enid News & Eagle.
The action does not stop here as the same day, Johnson’s interest in EMT became more clear after he noticed a house fire and a lady using who was using a walker was leaving the home.
“She was on her porch. But I thought, being a good citizen, I would cross and help her get into her truck and leave,” he said.
Impressed by the kid's bravery, the Muskogee County Sheriff’s Office took to Facebook and address Johnson’s courage.
