Off-Duty Firefighters Saved Elderly Woman's Life In Phoenixville Fire: Report

Two off-duty firefighters from the Poconos are credited with saving an elderly woman’s life after lightning struck a home on Dayton Street Wednesday, according to a CBS News report.

Anthony Szabara and his father were driving to work just before 6 a.m. on Wednesday when they saw smoke pouring from the twin home, the report states.

They knocked on the door and each put an arm around the 85-year-old woman that lived there, bringing her to safety, according to the report.

“It’s like two little angels came by at the right time,” the woman’s brother, Joe Malonski, told CBS News.

The residents of the other side of the twin home, the Tammaro’s, ”lost everything” in the fire.
