👏 9-year-old Maksym Shmihol saved his village from a fire
In Tsybuleve, Maksym noticed flames spreading through dry grass. Without a phone to call for help, he began putting out the fire himself by carrying sand and soil.
👩🏫 Soon his teacher, Vita Braslavska, joined him. Rescuers later honored the boy with a Letter of Appreciation for his timely actions that prevented a large-scale fire.
💬 The teacher added that she wasn’t surprised by Maksym’s brave act — compassion runs in the Shmihol family. His father serves in the Armed Forces of Ukraine 🇺🇦, defending the country, while his mother volunteers by making trench candles for the front.
