A firefighter caught a baby dropped to him from the second floor of a burning home in Boston’s Hyde Park neighborhood Sunday morning.
The fire broke out around 7 a.m. and the off-ty firefighter, who lives in the front of the building at 22 Norton Street that was burning, rushed to the rear of the building in time to find a woman and her husband and baby at the second story window.
The woman dropped her baby to the firefighter below, who safely caught it. The mother and father of the child then jumped out of the window themselves. They sustained non=life-threatening injuries in the fire.
Fire damage is estimated at half a million dollars.
