“Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of the Omar family. On Labor Day, Kelly and Jay Omar ran out to pick up dinner for their family while their oldest child, Briar, looked after his four siblings. It wasn't long after they left that the kids started smelling smoke. Briar and his sister Peyton began looking around and noticed that the playpen was on fire. The 13-year-old immediately sprang into action, getting his four sisters, the youngest of whom is just 6 months old, out of the house. After Briar got his sisters to safety, he went back into the house in hopes of putting out the flames with a nearby fire extinguisher, but the blaze had grown too large to contain. Smoke surrounded him, making it nearly impossible to breathe or see the way out. Luckily, their family dog, Mandy, nudged Briar before guiding him out of the house and back to safety. Kelly and Jay Omar returned to find their house engulfed in flames but felt a sigh of relief as they counted each of their children outside and out of harm's way. Although they are devastated by what they lost, they remain fortunate for what they still have. Thank you for the heroic efforts of Briar to save his sisters. ____________________”
