With firefighters claiming he was in the “right place at the right time,” the good Samaritan jumped into gear and ended up rescuing a family of four trapped inside the inferno.
Eliezer Reyes told WTNH-TV he was driving with his girlfriend to the store when he noticed the smoke and immediately approached the home, stepping into a truly scary scene.
“I said, like, ‘Is there anybody in there?’” Reyes recalled. “And a lady put her hands out the window.”
That’s when the hero noticed the woman had children with her. He told her to “drop the kid” down to him and pledged to catch the child.
“She didn’t trust me at first, but, eventually, she dropped her kid, and I caught him,” Reyes said. “And then the other kid fell, and I caught him.”
Then, the woman and a man trapped inside also dropped down from the window, with other good Samaritans stepping in to help catch them.
