(Dalton Daily Citizen<\/a>) \u2013\u00a0With two quick demands to her parents, five-year-old Adalyn Phillips saved a home that\u2019s been in her family for three generations \u2014 and possibly saved her family\u2019s lives \u2014 by using lessons learned during a tour of a Dalton Fire Department station.<\/p>\n

Barry Phillips said he was sitting on the couch when he heard a noise and saw something flash in Adalyn\u2019s room. The fire was coming from a socket in the bedroom of their Dalton home.<\/p>\n

\u201cI grabbed the fire extinguisher from under the kitchen sink and sprayed the fire down,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, his wife took Adalyn, sons Christian and Frankie and their puppies outside as she called 911, which dispatched the Whitfield County Fire Department.<\/p>\n

A few weeks before the fire, Adalyn\u2019s pre-K class at the First Baptist Church of Dalton Children\u2019s Learning Center visited Dalton Fire Department Station 1 for a tour. It was during that visit firefighter Konner Hall said something Adalyn remembered.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe said call 911 and tell your parents if there is ever a fire in your room,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
