An 8th grade student from Woodward Academy in Detroit will be at a special ceremony for Detroit firefighters Tuesday to thank them for teaching him a life-saving lesson.
Firefighters came to Thomas Locke's class and taught students how to escape a fire.
Shortly after the training, Locke's house caught fire and he was trapped on the second floor.
Locke used what he learned from firefighters to jump from the second-story window.
Tuesday, those firefighters will be honored along with others who will be recognized for their life-saving efforts.
The Detroit Fire Commissioner will be on hand for Tuesday's ceremony.
It begins at 9 a.m. at Detroit Public Safety Headquarters.
