Fourteen-year-old Royal Cothrun rescued an elderly woman suffering from dementia who was wandering outdoors during a period of extreme heat in Arizona. Temperatures in the area had reached 103°F at the time of the incident.
Recognizing the woman’s distress, Cothrun provided her with shade to protect her from the intense sun. He also assisted her in contacting her son, a move that officials noted was potentially lifesaving given the hazardous weather conditions. The Arizona fire department acknowledged the boy's actions, which prevented the situation from escalating further.
