Responders are calling it: The right place at the right time.

Two, young girls from Clearfield County saw flames shooting from a house and potentially saved a family's life. 

6News first heard about the girls on Facebook.

Nikki Wortman and Sidney Rowles are students at Harmony Area School District. 

Friday night, the two were driving home on Main Street from seeing Twilight: Breaking Dawn.

"We were going up into Westover to drop her off and I'm like, 'their house is on fire,'" Rowles said.

The family inside that home was sound asleep and weren't aware a fire sparked in a living room wall. 

"It was, like, the side of the house and it was just this little strip of fire coming out and it was all smokey," Wortman said.

"So, we turned around and we got them out of the house because they didn't know," Rowles added.

The girls honked the horn and banged on doors until everyone made it out of the house. 

Moments later, the girls brought in back up. 

"They didn't have a hose or anything. So, we went up to her house and her step-dad got a fire extinguisher and we took him down and he put it out," Rowles said.

"Some people don't have the courage to do that," Chief John Spacht said.

It impressed even the fire chief who brought his own extinguisher to battle the blaze minutes later. 

"I'm very thankful they done that. They saved the family's life," Spacht said.

He said they saved a life in the nick of time. 

"Another 15 minutes, it would've been too late to get them out," Spacht said.

Coaches, teachers, family and friends congratulated the girls for their brave actions. 

Some are calling it heroic. 

6News asked the fire chief if he considered the girls to be heroes.

"Yes, I would," he said.

But these two are just hoping anyone would've done the same. 

"I hope they would've helped them too, and stopped." 

The chief said the fire was electrical in nature.

6News talked to the family who lives inside.

They said they're very thankful for the girls because it could've been much worse.
