He hasn’t even grown to the 4-foot mark yet — but Sayam Kamal was a towering hero yesterday.
The 5-year-old kindergartner saved his whole family after a fire broke out in their Queens home.
Sayam said that when he heard the fire alarm go off and smelled smoke, he yelled to his granny and other relatives to get out.
“I told everyone to come outside,” said the pint-sized rescuer, who credited his teacher at PS 133 with telling him how to react to a fire.
The flames erupted in the family’s two-story home on 249th Street near 87th Drive in Bellerose at around 11:30 a.m., fire officials said.
Sayam’s 15-year-old brother, Sajid, was listening to music and didn’t hear the alarm. His uncle and grandmother were both asleep.
So Sayam took matters into his own tiny hands — getting everyone’s attention and telling them to run.
“We would have been stuck in there if it wasn’t for him,” said Zaman Uddin, 50, Sayam’s uncle.
“He told everyone. He’s our hero.”
The home was being outfitted for Sayam’s father, Mohammed, who suffers from Lou Gehrig’s disease, with a special bed, wheelchair ramp and medical equipment, according to Uddin.
“We are lucky he wasn’t home today,” he said.
Two plumbing contractors working on the home’s second floor also escaped the blaze, according to members of Sayam’s family.
One firefighter was taken to Long Island Jewish Hospital with a minor injury.
The cause of the fire, which was extinguished by noon, was under investigation.
