An 11-month-old girl is out of the hospital and expected to be alright after being rescued by a group of Richmond firefighters Saturday afternoon.
“We're talking literally seconds here from tragedy to triumph,” said Capt. William M. Martin with the Richmond Fire Department.
Engine Company 11 was the first on the scene at Fairfield Court Saturday afternoon.
