Two boys from Orange County, Florida, are being called heroes Thursday for saving the lives of two other children who were trapped in a burning home.

Ten-year-old Isiah Francis and 11-year-old Jeremiah Grimes saved the two children, both less than 1 year old.

When they saw flames billowing out of the mobile home they jumped into action.

"I was just so scared going through my mind. My heart was beating so fast, scared, trying to get out of the house with the kids," Francis said.

"We looked out the window and saw flames coming out of the house," Grimes said. "(It was) really hot. It felt like 150 degrees in there. I'm just thinking, 'Stay calm, keep your mind straight, stay focused on what you're doing.'"

Francis said he got the kids out by carrying one under each arm. Fire officials still don't know what caused the fire.

They said two more children, ages 2 and 5, were injured in the fire and are in critical but stable condition.
