Firefighters in California are crediting a toddler for saving the day after he told his parents to call 911 about a fire in their neighborhood.

The child witnessed the flames after they started at the house on 35th Avenue in the Richmond neighborhood of San Francisco.

In an interview with ABC 7, the San Francisco Fire Department spoke with the young boy to hear his story of events.

SFFD: "Luca, what did you see up there?"

Luca: "There was a fire, and it was this big."

SFFD: "And what color were the flames?"

Luca: "It was orange and red."

SFFD: "And what did you say to mommy and daddy?"

Luca: "Call 911!"

SFFD: "And did you save the day?"

Luca: "Yes."

SFFD: "Yay. Thank you, Luca!"

Thankfully for this San Francisco neighborhood, Luca was alert and on standby to save the day.
