An off-duty FDNY EMT jumped into action and helped rescue his neighbors when a fire broke out in Queens Wednesday evening. FDNY EMT Daniel Marcano was in his backyard when one of his neighbors ran and told him about a house fire close by. “I was in my backyard and one of my neighbors ran to the back and told me that there was a fire close by. He knew I was in the FDNY. I ran to the front of the house and saw the smoke. As I got closer, I realized that the house that was on fire was occupied by my neighbors and they were inside. I started kicking the front door and finally got it to open,” Marcano said. Marcano made his way into the house, found one of his neighbors and carried them out. He was then told their friend was still inside.
