Her mother Isla, who was in the kitchen making dinner at the time, insisted on calling firefighters and urging her to take notice.
Initially, the 38-year-old thought her daughter, who is neurodegenerative, had only seen a fire on TV but soon realized the danger was real.
He said: “I was making dinner and she started screaming at me, ‘Mummy, mummy, hot, hot, hot, hot’.

“He grabbed my jeans pocket and dragged me through the house and I looked out the window and there was smoke blowing out the windows.”
Mrs Frame said she feared people might be inside the ground floor flat which was on fire and called 999 immediately.
“The fire brigade came and it took them two hours to put out whatever it was,” he continued.
“There was also a gas supply so it could have been a lot worse.”
Firefighters found two people in the building and escorted them to safety unharmed.
Mrs Frame believes that had it not been for Alloweigh, the pair could have been injured.
Alloweigh has since been recognized for her response with a special award at Lanark Community Fire Station.
Station manager Paul Mathieson presented her with a certificate of appreciation signed by area commander Jim Quinn.
Alloweigh also had the pleasure of a tour of the fire station, a seat in a fire engine and a turn to use one of the fire hoses.
Mr Mathieson said: “Alloweigh’s quick thinking alerted our crews to an emergency and, thanks to this, we were able to act quickly and extinguish the fire without it spreading or causing any injuries.
“It’s very impressive for a two-year-old to have the confidence and awareness to identify that something is wrong and then alert their parents.
“We were delighted to welcome Alloweigh and her family to Lanark Community Fire Station recently to present them with a certificate of our appreciation.
“We hope that everyone who came along had a memorable day and that it provided Alloweigh with something to look back on as she grows up.”
Mrs Frame said a representative from the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service Family Support Trust (SFRS) was almost in tears as they spoke of Alloweigh’s response to the incident.
“He said he had never in his 41-year career known someone so young warning them about a fire,” he said.
“He said thanks to your little girl that there were two people walking the streets today, maybe that wasn’t it.
“It’s crazy. I’m extremely proud of her.”
The team at Lanark Community Fire Station have also invited Alloweigh to take part in a charity car wash to raise money for the trust.
The trust provides financial and other support services to Service personnel and retirees and their families.
