Firefighters are always looking out for each other, even if they haven’t answered an alarm in more than three decades.
A 90-year-old retired FDNY firefighter who had been missing for 36 hours was safely returned home early Saturday after a keen-eyed smoke eater — 63-years his junior — saw him wandering down a Bronx street.
Firefighter Joseph Pirzinger, 27, was on a fire truck rolling along Claremont Parkway near Crotona Ave. about 1:30 a.m. when he saw a hunched-over elderly man at a nearby corner.
He knew immediately it was Peter Campanelli, who had been missing since Thursday evening.
