  Quick action by 17-year-old Sadie Contreras of Round Lake saved the lives of a mother and her 2-year-old child, when a fire started outside their home Saturday night. The Grant High School junior was watching a basketball game on television with her father about 11 p.m. when she noticed a fire breaking out across the street. She started yelling about a fire, and bam, she ran 100 miles an hour out the door, her father Luis Contreras said. She never thought twice about it. She was going to get the people out of there.
