00:00In Wheelie Castle, eight-year-old Freddy is being held as a local hero after stepping
00:08in to clear flood water during last Friday's heavy downpours. The flooding, which left
00:13many roads impassable, didn't stop Freddy from helping out. In footage captured and
00:17shared online, Freddy can be seen removing debris from the drains, allowing the water
00:22to clear away. His actions have resonated across Birmingham, with people praising his
00:27initiative and quick thinking. Freddy's mum, Kyla, shared her pride after seeing her son's
00:32efforts acknowledged by the wider community. Freddy didn't hesitate when he saw the rising
00:37water on their road, using his energy to make a real difference. The community has already
00:43started showing their appreciation, with one local resident gifting Freddy chocolates and
00:48money. A fundraiser continues to gather support, with many eager to say thank you to the boy,
00:54now known as Wheelie Castle's Hero.
