 An 8-year-old boy rescued six relatives, returned to the inferno and died trying to save his disabled uncle. Tyler Doohan died in a fire in his grandfather's trailer home in Penfield, N.Y. this past weekend.  In a report by Yahoo News. The young boy returned to the trailer after saving six relatives in order to help his disabled uncle. 

Tyler, his grandfather, Louis J. Beach and uncle, Steve D. Smith died in the fire. Their bodies were found together in the back bedroom. Several pets including dogs, cats, rabbits and hamsters died as well. Tyler decided to alert his sleeping family members once he discovered the fire around 4:45 am according to the Democrat and Chronicle

Tyler was able to save two other children ages 4 and 6 as well as his grandmother, aunt and cousins. An electrical fire in front of the house appears to be the cause of the inferno. According to the Democrat and Chronicle,  the Beach family members and officials of Morgan Management, which owns the trailer park, had said the trailer was deemed unlivable on at least one occasion. Thanks to Tyler's brave actions, the rescued family members were treated for minor injuries.
