Not all heroes wear capes. Some are children with good hearts that happen to be in the right place at the right time. Early this month, a sixth grader from Oklahoma, Dayvon Johnson performed the Heimlich maneuver on a classmate. Then, that same day, Dayvon rescued an elderly from a burning house.
According to Enid News & Eagle, a student trying to re>choking student stumbled into a Dayvon’s classroom.
Dayvon jumped into action and performed the Heimlich maneuver. The bottle cap popped out.
The 11-year-old, told Enid News & Eagle he learned the Heimlich maneuver on YouTube, calling it a valuable procedure to learn. He said, “Just in case you’re in the situation I was in, you can know what to do.”
Later, while walking after school, Dayvon saw an elderly woman trying to escape a house fire. Again he rushed to help her with her walker get out of the home.
“I thought ‘oh, she’s not moving fast enough.’ So I ran across the street and helped her to her truck,” Dayvon told News On 6 cameras.
No one who knows Dayvon was surprised by his quick-thinking nature, as he wants to be an EMT.
Dayvon’s mother, LaToya Johnson, told Enid News & Eagle, “I’m just a proud mom.”
The young hero was honored by both Muskogee County Sheriff’s Office and Muskogee Public Schools at a Muskogee Board of Education meeting.
