Having the family home this Thanksgiving was sure to be a cherished time. However, during preparation, did you ever think about what you would do if an accident occurred? Rather than worrying, you need protection you can count on for your home, valuables, and most importantly, your loved ones.
According to New York Daily News, several acts of heroism, courage, and faith allowed for a tiny life to be saved this Thanksgiving. Josiah Alexis, an 8 month old baby boy, was fighting for his life after a fire caused by a cigarette blazed down his house in Brooklyn.
Firefighter Richard Myers arrived on the scene to find one injured man and a woman retreating inside from a third-floor window. Myers grabbed a ladder off the truck and climbed up. Inside, the woman, Justine Alexis, 20, was sitting on a bed.
“She said, ‘My baby is inside! My baby is inside!’ ” Myers recalled. “I cleared the glass and grabbed her. She was bleeding bad. “I put on my mask and climbed through the window. . . . There was a guy on the floor at the base of the bed, unconscious.”
He lifted up the man and passed him off to a firefighter. Firefighter Dave Newbery, 39, found the baby in the front room, unconscious. Newbery grabbed the soot-covered child and ran for the stairs. “I was doing mouth-to-mouth on the baby on the way down,” he recalled.

Firefighter Neil Malone hurried to help resuscitate the baby. “The baby was limp. He was not breathing. He was in cardiac arrest,” said Malone. The 28-year veteran used his mouth to force air into Josiah’s lungs. Malone knew that brain cells begin to die after five minutes without oxygen, but Josiah had stopped breathing before that.
“Every second, every minute is crucial,” he said. Fewer than 30 seconds later, Malone finally heard the baby’s cough, confirming Josiah was alive. In fact, everyone had survived, thanks to the speed, bravery, and determination of the rescuers working on a day most people spend with family.
