(CNN)A 7-year-old boy named Eli saved his baby sister's life when he jumped into her room through a window to rescue her from a fire that destroyed his family's home.
It was a typical night at the Davidson household in New Tazewell, Tennessee, on December 8. Chris and Nicole Davidson fed their three children dinner, tucked them into bed and were asleep by 8:30 p.m.
Hours later, Nicole Davidson woke up to the smell of smoke. Within minutes, the family's home was up in flames -- and 22-month-old Erin Davidson was trapped in her room.
