PATERSON, New Jersey (WABC) Two New Jersey firefighters are being hailed as heroes after rescuing a man and his 3-year-old daughter from a burning building in Paterson.
When firefighters arrived at the brick walkup on Fair Street Sunday morning, the father was holding his daughter over the railing of a second-floor fire escape as the flames drew closer. He probably started to panic a little bit and you know was ready to drop the daughter and we came and I told him No, no, don t do anything, I m coming up, said Robert Santore, Paterson Fire Department. I proceeded to go up the ladder of the fire escape, he handed the daughter to me, and I came about halfway back down. Brian was below me, I handed the baby off to him and I went back up to help the adult.
