The Hawaii State Chapter of the American Red Cross will honor five community heroes Saturday during the Red Cross Heroes Breakfast at the Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa.

The local Red Cross chapter will also give out five community volunteer awards.

Here is more information on the five community heroes:

» Six-year-old Althea Cunningham is being hailed as this year’s Youth Hero for alerting her family and neighbors to an early morning fire that damaged their Makiki apartment building.

Althea awoke to popping sounds about 7 a.m. Nov. 11 at the two-story walkup building on Piikoi Street, the Red Cross said. She looked out the front window and could feel heat coming from the upstairs apartment.

Althea saw flames coming from upstairs and quickly alerted her mother. Her action allowed her mother, sister and herself to escape unharmed and alert their neighbors. The eight residents of the building consider Althea a hero, the Red Cross said.

» Honolulu firefighter Wesley Pratt is being recognized as the In the Line of Duty Hero for pulling an injured firefighter out of a Haleiwa home on June 3.

Pratt and other firefighters were moving paint and fuel containers out of a house where a fire had been brought under control when a firefighter suffered an electrical shock.

Pratt pulled the firefighter to safety, receiving multiple electrical shocks during the rescue, the Red Cross said.
