VIDEO: Two young children and their mother are out of the hospital after a fire destroyed their home in Cedar Falls. The children, 5-year-old Avery and 3-year-old Mason, are tough kids. They are now settling back into daily life, laughing and playing with their cousins just days after a tragic situation. "Well, I can tell you it wasn't a dream,” Avery told Lauren Moss of KWWL. The two and their mother were rescued by firefighters. “He broke the door open,” Avery said. After a fire trapped them inside their home, the doorway was engulfed in flames. “There was nowhere to go with no smoke,” Avery said. But Avery says she knew she had to find somewhere and fast. “I said, ‘it sounds like the fire alarm.’ And then I just walked to the bathroom because I thought it might be a little colder in there to keep me safe from the hotness of the fire." And it worked; Avery and Mason are doing very well. Their mother is expected to be okay too, but their home is not.
