Early Sunday at 12:50 a.m., a blaze was reported to Hood County 911, after which firefighters were dispatched to the area. When they arrived on the scene they were briefed on the situation.
"We got a 2-year-old on the second floor," a firefighter can be heard saying. Another firefighter says, "He's screaming, he's crying; that's good."
After the rescue, the toddler's mother, Phylicia Keen, was overwhelmed with gratitude, according to KDFW. "I want to thank them from the bottom of my heart for getting my baby out as quickly as you did," she said. "You all don't get enough credit, you really don't."
According to the GFVB Facebook, "Firefighting units upon arrival were instructed by dispatchers that a child was entrapped in a 2nd-floor bedroom. GVFD Engine 1 FF crew including FF B. Serratelli laddered the bedroom window and North Hood Co FF J. Head accessed the window and was able to remove the child from the burning apartment. The child’s care was then transferred to awaiting Texas EMS where the child was treated and placed into a medivac helicopter for further advanced care in Fort Worth."
