Ten-year-old hero Tey-year-old Adam Cook of Georgetown is being credited with saving the lives of seven people when an early morning fire broke out in a Raylawn Cres. bungalow, last Wednesday. According to fire officials, Adam awoke at about 1:55 a.m. with the house smelling of smoke.He imme- diately alerted his six-year-old brother, Brandon, with whom he shares a bedroom. He then roused his mother, Wendy, her boyfriend Doug Trimble and three-year-old brother, Travis. Cook, her three sons and Trimble left the house. Three occu- pants of the basement apartment at 51 Raylawn Crescent were awak- ened when Trimble broke their bedroom window and told them to leave the building. Scott and Margaret Hunter left the apartment with their 15-month-old daughter. It is believed that careless smok- ing may have caused the fire, but fire and police officials are continu- ing their investigation. The fire originated on the main level. Damage to the house is esti- mated at $50,000 with another $7,000 to the contents. It took firefighters about three hours to quell the blaze. A smoke detector was discovered in the house but it was not equipped with a battery, Halton Hills fire officials said. A Halton Regional Police are recommending Adam be honored for his act of bravery during the blaze.

Although thousands of doHars worth of tools were left untouched during the break-in at the automo- tive repair shop, the culprit stole 12 loonies and $6 in loose change.
