DORCHESTER, MASS. (WHDH) - A young boy is being honored for his heroism during an emergency in Dorchester.

Boston firefighters say 8-year-old Hasani helped his family and neighbors help evacuate a burning building earlier this month.

City leaders and the Boston Firefighters Union recognized Hasani’s bravery during a ceremony at his elementary school and awarded him with two Citations.

Hasani says he wants to be a firefighter when he grows up.
