On the afternoon of May 15, 2013, 10 year old Toni-Ann Miller
was on her way home from school with her friends in the community
of Mount Hermon, St Catherine, when they came upon a house
emitting thick black smoke from the windows. They heard a
child crying inside and without hesitation, Toni-Ann ran inside
the burning building, pulled the young child to safety but soon
realised that his younger brother was still inside the house.
Without giving a thought to her own safety, she returned into
the house, found the little boy lying on the bed which was partially
ablaze and quickly took him outside. With Toni-Ann’s quick
