Three Greenwich firefighters' abilities to act quickly in a scary situation were put to the test Tuesday afternoon when they were flagged down at a red light to save a young child who had stopped breathing.
Lieutenant Erik Maziarz said he and two crew members, firefighters Christopher Kelly and Adam Jakubowski, were on their way to Cos Cob for a routine assignment when they stopped at a red light on Mason Street around 2:30 p.m. As they sat at the light, the three men began to hear rapid and frantic beeping near their firetruck.
"We heard some commotion," Maziarz said to Patch. "We heard a horn beeping. We thought it might be a road rage incident at first."
