Her Mother would have been so proud of her. So tragic to have lost their Mother at such young ages. All the best to the children and their father.

Oh my gosh this gives me goosebumps. What an amazing little girl, how proud her mother would have been. My thoughts are with the family.

What an amazing effort by that little girl. She won’t fully understand what she’s done until she is older, but what an impressive thing to do. Whilst her Mum may have passed on immediately, she was certainly watching over her kids to make sure they were safe. A terribly sad story, but incredible in the face of such tragedy.

What a gorgeous little girl! Most kids would be so scared they’d only think of getting themselves to safety the fact that she thought to not only get her siblings out, but also knew to walk home and call for help at such a young age is incredible!

What a courageous strong wee girl ! My thought and prayers go out to the grieving family.

Fantastic young girl – hope the community rally around this poor young father.

A terrible tragedy. The 5 year old who rescued her siblings did a fantastic job. She is obviously very level headed, and knew what she had to do to save them. I would have panicked and not acted as quickly as she did. Unless family are prepared to care for the children the majority of their young lives Brenton may have to look for alternative employment. They all have huge important decisions to make – and helping the children, especially the older two to come to terms that they have lost their Mum. The 5 year old who was sitting next to her Mum will most likely need counselling for awhile.

What a wonderful little girl; what a dreadful experience.
