A 5-year-old girl is being hailed as a hero after acting quickly to save her grandmother and dog from their burning house in Louisiana.

“If she had not done that, I’d think we’d be looking at a totally different situation,” Kenner Fire Department Chief John Hellmers told ABC News today.

Cloe Woods was sleeping in her home in Kenner when the stove caught on fire, causing the fire alarm to go off on Thursday, Cloe’s mother Shone Arceneaux, 39, explained to ABC News today.

Cloe learned how to safely escape a house fire from a trip her class took to the Kenner Fire Department, in October 2015. Her pre-k teacher Brittany Gaillot at Our Lady of Perpetual Help described to ABC News today how Cloe “loved” the trip and was “a great listener.”

14. Love this story. Glad everyone is safe. The child is a hero.

"Arceneaux also mentioned that Cloe’s grandmother tried to find her shoes before going outside, but Cloe insisted that they needed to evacuate the house as fast as possible. Cloe was also able to save their dog. "

In the video she looks like such a little kid too. Beautiful little girls.

She kinda' looks like one, too.

If she's anything like my kids, she would be telling her grandmother "But the fireman said... " LOL
