8-Year-Old Girl Saves Her Mother After Microwave Explosion

                                    

After a microwaveable dinner exploded in her face, a British mother was saved from severe burns thanks to her quick-thinking 8-year-old daughter. Thirty-two-year-old Vicki Patmore was attempting to peel the lid off the packaging of her meal when the beef ravioli exploded onto her face and chest.
According to Huffington post reports, Patmore told the Thanet Times that the burns left her in a "state of shock." Thankfully, her daughter, 8-year-old Ella Rake, was on hand to save the day.
"She told her mom that she needed to get into a cold shower right away," Ella's teacher, Louise Shipley, told The Huffington Post. "Her mom didn't want to do it at first, but she listened to [Ella] in the end."
As Patmore stood under the shower, Ella quickly called an ambulance and advised her mother to wrap her burns in cling film.

"When the paramedics arrived, they said that [Ella's directions] were probably what saved her from getting terrible scars," said Shipley.
Ella, who attends Chartfield School in Kent, England, had been learning first aid at an after-school club. As reported by Huffington Post.
