Martin Gonzalez, 29, and James Williams, 22, became local heroes on Tuesday after they scaled an icy fire escape to rescue a woman and two babies from their burning five-story building on the corner of East 181st Street and Southern Bouelvard in East Tremont.
FDNY officials said the fire started on the first floor and quickly spread upward, trapping tenants. Two firefighters and thirteen residents reported minor injuries. (Daily News)
