DERBY David Lenart grew up around firefighters and pretended, as a boy, that he was one of them.
So when it came time to take action when a real fire broke out, Lenart was prepared.
His younger sister, Brienne Lenart, said
a lamp once caught fire in their childhood home and a teenage David whisked her outside to safety as their parents put out the fire.
