Officers catch babies dropped by tenants in apartment fire
Quote:
|
Tenants on the second floor had to escape through their balconies. Pundsack said that he and other officers helped to catch babies that people dropped from those balconies."They were holding them by the arms. They were pretty frantic and pretty scared," he said. "At first, we thought they were going to drop them. We were yelling commands to them to just slow down, but they ended up dropping a couple. We were able to catch them, luckily."Everyone made it out of the fire safely. Firefighters said they were able to contain the fire to two apartments, but two adjacent units sustained smoke damage.

I hope those babies' parents tell them someday what LEOs did for them when they were babies.

I guess this is the one time people don't mind being caught by the police.

You'd think the firefighters would have just slid their laz-y-boy recliners under the babies to catch them.

Yeah, but then they'd have to slide over the big screen TV's, make a big dinner, etc. Better just let the cops handle it
