Garcia was unable to communicate, but James called 911 and reported the emergency to first responders, a release from OCFR says.

“I don’t know what’s happening to my grandma...” James said during the call. “I’m scared.”

The release shows that James stayed on the line with 911 until first responders arrived at the home. Firefighters could be heard telling James, “Good job, bud.”

On Sunday, James is set to be honored by OCFR at an Orange County fire station. That event is scheduled for 2 p.m.
