Wednesday afternoon, a group of firefighters were honored for bravely rescuing four children from a fire.
The kids, all under the age of five, were left home alone when a fire broke out, trapping them inside back on Aug. 15th.
"This was an ordinary day, an ordinary fire in an ordinary building," said Chief Dennis Jenkerson
But on that ordinary day St. Louis firefighters were caught on camera producing extraordinary results.
"I looked down and the first baby was laying just inside the swing of the door so I scooped her up," said firefighter Patrick Ferguson.
Ferguson, Joshua Roth, Duane Greer and Chris Erb were part of the team that rescued four children left home alone when a fire started trapping them inside. "We had no indication that there was anyone in there, but things change," explained Battalion Chief Duane Greer.
