		</div><p>A pupil from Oklahoma in the US has been honoured by law enforcement and school officials for his heroic actions not just once but twice in the same day.</p>
<p>Earlier this month, Davyon Johnson used the Heimlich manoeuvre on a classmate who was choking on a bottle cap at his school in Muskogee.</p>
<p>Later that same day, he helped a woman escape from a burning house, the Muskogee Phoenix reported.</p>
<p>Last week, Davyon was named an honorary member of the police and sheriff’s departments at the Muskogee Board of Education meeting, the newspaper reported.</p>
<p>“I felt good, excited,” Davyon said about the honour.</p>
<p>Principal Latricia Dawkins called the youngster a “dual hero” and said the recognition could not have happened to a better person.</p>
<p>“He is just a kind soul and well-liked by his peers and staff alike,” she said.</p>
<p>Ms Dawkins recalled the incident that earned Davyon the honour.</p>
<p>She said a student was trying to fill his water bottle and loosen the cap with his mouth when the cap slipped into his throat.</p>
<p>The choking student stumbled into a nearby classroom, where Davyon happened to be, Ms Dawkins said.</p>
<p>“Davyon immediately sprinted over and did the Heimlich manoeuvre,” she said.</p>
<p>“From the account of the witnesses, when he did it the bottle cap popped out.”</p>
<p>Davyon demonstrated how he got behind the choking student, wrapped his arms around the student and “burped him, kind of”.</p>
<p>He then helped a woman evacuate her burning house later that day.</p>
<p>“It was a disabled lady and she was walking out of her house,” Davyon said.</p>
<p>“She was on her porch. But I thought, being a good citizen, I would cross and help her get into her truck and leave.”</p>
<p>He said the back of the house was on fire, “but it eventually got to the front of the house”.</p>
<p>Davyon said he learned to do the Heimlich manoeuvre on YouTube and said it is a valuable procedure to learn.</p>
<p>“Just in case you’re in the situation I was in, you can know what to do,” he said.</p>
<p>Davyon’s mother, LaToya Johnson, said she was not surprised he behaved the way he did.</p>
<p>She said her brother, Wendell Johnson, is an emergency medical technician.</p>
<p>“I’m just a proud mom,” she said.</p>
