‘Miracles’: Family’s Agonizing Loss of Heroic 6-Year-Old and Baby Brother Turns into Gift of Life

Two Virginia parents are focusing on the heroism of their late sons after a house fire took their young lives.

James and Reina Brice vividly remember the morning of April 10 when their Clifton, Virginia home caught fire. 

The Brice’s sons and their parents were inside when the house caught fire, WJLA-TV reports.

And while the grandparents and 8-year-old Logan were able to escape alive, Zachariah, 3, and William, 6, became trapped as smoke filled the home. 

Logan called 911 and Fairfax County Fire and Rescue quickly arrived and rescued William and Zachariah from a second-floor bedroom. 

“(Firefighters) found William covering Zachariah like a shield,” Jamey said.

Fire officials performed CPR for 45 minutes – something the family considers to be a miracle amid the tragedy. 

“That was the miracle was like just that we didn’t lose them on Wednesday and we had those extra days to get as much time,” Jamey told NBC Washington.

A medical team took them to the hospital and although it appeared the boys had no burns on their bodies, the damage from smoke inhalation was extensive.
