Brave girl, 6, rescued her baby brother from house fire which killed her other sibling
Little Kelsey Davies, six, pulled her 11-month-old brother Andrew from the flames at their house in Wales
A HERO schoolgirl risked her life to rescue her baby brother from a house fire that killed her other sibling.
Kelsey Davies, six, pulled her 11-month-old brother Andrew from the flames as they engulfed the family home in Pontardawe, South Wales on Monday.
Brave Kelsey risked her own life in the blaze to grab little Andrew from his cot and rush downstairs - while their brother Jac tragically died in the inferno.
After making sure the tiny tot was safe the bold schoolgirl dashed back into the burning house in a bid to save the rest of her family.
Tragically the flames were too much for the young girl to battle through and her four-year-old brother perished in his bedroom.
Little Jac was pronounced dead at the scene in Alltwen, Pontardawe - while the rest of his family had a lucky escape from the dangerous fire.
Mum Jenny Davies, who also survived the fire, praised her quick-thinking daughter.
The 28-year-old said: "Kelsey was amazing, she picked Andrew up out of his cot and got him out of the house.
"I'm very proud of her but I'll never get over losing my little Jac."
Kelsey was the first to wake when the fire broke out in the family's four-bedroom home, close to the children's bedrooms.
The little girl opened a window and frantically screamed for help before dragging her baby brother to safety.
Close family friend Kim Counsell, 28, said: "Kelsey is the oldest of the three children and loves to mother her three little brothers.
"Her first reaction would have been to get them out of the house when she realised it was on fire.
"She went to the window and was shouting: 'Help, help, someone, please can you help'.
"Then she picked Andrew up and carried him out of the house.
"By the time she got outside people were there and she handed him over before going back inside.
"It is an amazing thing for a six-year-old girl to do."
Kelsey rushed back into the house to help her mum save her three-year-old brother Riley after handing little Andrew to neighbours waiting outside.
Two men who live nearby also tried in vain to get up the stairs in a bid to save Jac, but were held back by the wall of heat.
It is thought the fierce blaze was strongest close to where Jac had been sleeping.
Jenny, who was "inconsolable" after hearing about Jac's death, paid tribute tor her "handsome, lovely and playful boy with beautiful curls".
She added: "He was my life, my world, my everything."

Her devastated friend Kim also paid tribute to the "lovely little boy".
She said: "We used to call him Jackanory because he was always making up little stories.
"He was always playing with the neighbour's cat, I saw him chasing it the day before the fire.
"He was such a lovely little boy, he loved trains - I can still hear him going choo choo while he was playing."
Jenny and the three children who survived were treated for smoke inhalation at nearby Morriston Hospital in Swansea.
Flowers and teddies remain at the scene of the fire, alongside tributes to tragic Jac.
Marie Morris, 24, whose son Harry was Jac's best friend in nursery laid a flower at the scene and asked: "How do I tell a four-year-old he will never see his best friend again?
"They were always playing together, I've tried to explain in simple terms but he doesn't understand.
"Jac was a lovely little boy,a real character, always smiling and having fun.
"Jenny is a good, caring mum. She will be devastated."
Detective Chief Inspector Esyr Jones, of Swansea and North Port Talbot CID said: "A scene investigation is taking place by police and fire investigators to establish the cause which at this stage is not known.
"A number of local people were involved in the rescue of the family but tragically a four-year-old boy died at the scene."
South Wales fire chief Chris Margetts said: "The blaze was very severe - it may have set off smoke detectors.
"The tragedy happened in a very close community - specialist teams from the fire and rescue service will be working with the community in the coming days."
South Wales Police are appealing for information about the blaze.
