Sixteen-year-old Jordan Wells is being remembered as a hero after he died while helping to save his family from a fire in their Oak Hills home. “My brother’s an angel now,” his 9-year-old sister said.
Jordan Wells died early Sunday morning after his Oak Hills home went up in flames. He had been playing video games in the living room when he smelled smoke and saw flames.
Jordan woke up his 9-year-old sister, Brooklyin, and the two ran throughout the home, waking everyone up and telling them to get out.

Firefighters arrived and helped two people who had suffered from burns and smoke inhalation. Williams said he looked for Jordan but couldn't find him. It wasn't until the fire had been put out that firefighters were able to find Jordan lying near the front door with the family's dog. Investigators are still trying to determine the exact cause of the fire, which they say appears to be accidental. The family believes it may have been caused by an electrical problem, possibly faulty wiring.Get Los Angeles's latest local news on crime, entertainment, weather, schools, COVID, cost of living and more.
