“I may never see her again. But for 30 seconds our lives crossed paths, and I’m glad that I was able to help her. When we made it to the living room, Firefighter Grillo held the flames back with the can while I followed sounds of moaning. It was near zero visibility in the apartment. I couldn’t see, but I was walking towards the noise and feeling around, and I came across her leg. She was semi-conscious, I tried to speak to her but she couldn’t respond. I pulled her out of he...

“We were in the middle of checking the rigs, we had the apparatus door open and a Good Samaritan passed by and said they thought they saw the man who was missing. We walked with them to the corner of the block, and met him there. He had been missing overnight. He was shaken and cold. We brought him back to the firehouse and warmed him up, tried to comfort him.” - FDNY Probationary Firefighter Raymond Pyrcz from Engine 205 in Brooklyn, who was approached this morning by person...

“It was smoky in the apartment, and I heard noise coming from the bay of the floorboards. It was the kittens, they were crying. I found one, and then the others. They are so young. I’m glad we were able to get them out of there.” - FDNY Firefighter Vincent Martinelli of Ladder 31 (working today at Engine 50) describes the rescue of four young kittens at a 2-alarm fire earlier today in the Bronx.

Lowery. Council Member M...

“When I pulled up, there was a woman standing in the street, waving her arms and screaming in distress, ‘There are people in the house! There’s a baby inside!’ My own children are 3 and 5 years old, and both being a father and with the training we’ve received, my instinct was to run inside even though the fire company wasn’t on scene yet. I notified my dispatcher at EMS and headed to the front door.” – FDNY Lieutenant Craig Roeder, a Paramedic at Station 45 in Queens and seen...
