A father dropped his child into the arms of first responders when a fire broke out at an apartment building in New Jersey, and citizens are praising the crews’ efforts.
When the fire started early Monday at a building in the South Ridge Apartments complex in South Brunswick, crews saw a man in the window on the second floor, ABC 7 reported.
However, officials initially believed everyone had escaped outside.
