A group of New York teenagers returning home from junior prom are being hailed as heroes for helping get a father and his two daughters to safety upon noticing the family's garage was on fire.

“Your house is on fire! Your house is on fire,” Aiden Kane, 17, is heard in cellphone video yelling to alert the occupants of the house in Marcy — a town of around 8,700 — on May 17.

Kane, his girlfriend, Morgan Randall, and their friends Donato Jellenich and Tyler Sojda were driving back from the junior prom at Whitesboro High School when they saw the garage engulfed in flames.

The cellphone video shows Kane telling the dad and his two girls, "You guys got to get out!" and, once outside, telling one of the shaken children, "You're OK," and to stand behind a car.
