When him and Ponyboy got back and went back up to the church. Johnny got out the of the car to rescue the little kids that were trapped in the burning church. He didn't have to, and he knew it was possible for him to get hurt or found by the cops, but he did it anyway. He knew it was his responsibility because either he or Ponyboy didn't put out their cigarette all the way, and he knew he was going to have to take responsibility for those actions. That shows that he is good hearted. And doing that good deed is precisely what makes the newspapers think that Johnny is a hero.
