Hero Postman Catches Twin Babies From Burning Apartment
Click here for reuse options!Jermaine Shirley, 30, a third-floor resident who delivers mail in Greenwich, Conn., first made sure his wife and child got out safely after he smelled smoke and discovered the blaze about 7 a.m. at 870 E. 220th St. in Williamsbridge.
He then climbed to the roof of an attached shed to the rear of the building, where he saw panicked dad Everdean Codner, 32, on a third-floor fire escape with the twin, 11-month old boys, Israel and Ishmeal Codner.
“I was ready to catch. One of them, he kind of flipped a little because he was in a full ‘onesie’ suit, but I catch him,” Shirley said.
The father then tossed the second infant down and the sure-handed letter carrier made another life-saving catch.
