"Firefighter Brian Quinn, assisted by other members, went out the window on the roof-rope that was secured on the Halligan tool by the team members (sic)," the fire department wrote in the caption quoting FDNY Commissioner, Daniel A.
The brave firefighter remained at the window and tried to calm the woman. While he did that, another team was trying to put out the fire inside the apartment.
"This is really a heroic rescue and it really shows the talent and the bravery of the members of the New York City Fire Department. It's something that's rarely done, and yet they exercised their skills quickly, they assessed the situation quickly, and they did what had to be done bravely (sic)," they further wrote in the caption.
