From a Washington Post story by Sydney Page headlined “He made a wrong turn and saw a house on fire. He saved four siblings.”:

Brendon Birt made a wrong turn as he drove a friend home just before 2 a.m. in Red Oak, Iowa. The mistake ended up saving the lives of four siblings.

Birt, 26, accidentally turned onto Prospect Street as he was looking for his friend’s house on Oct. 23. The directional mix-up was a stroke of luck: He drove by a home that was engulfed in flames.
