In regard to reply # 571 above......On Friday, February 26, 2016, FF James H. Battillo Retired L 176 / L 152 passed away. He was the recipient of the James Gordon Bennett medal in 1978 while in L 176......39 years ago this is what Jim did.

On March 3rd, 1977 at 10am, a fire broke out at 345 Saratoga Ave. FF Battillo had the OVM position in Ladder 176 that day. Ladder 123 had rescued a woman from a front room, she claimed her children were still inside. FF Battillo climbed the fire escape to the 4th floor. He saw the omious signs of a raging interior fire, the grime covered panes of glass rimmed by heavy smoke pushing through the frames. Knowing that a sudden in-rush of air could create the conditions for a flashback fire, FF Battillo opened the window just high enough to permit him to crawl into the apartment. He slid to the floor, without a mask, he crawled towards the brightness of the fire in the adjoining room. Facing 2 rooms of fire, the fire started to come out, rolling over his head. He noticed a reflection in the fire of what appeared to be a leg hanging over a couch. Shielding his face from the searing fire, he moved closer & reached a 3 year old boy. As he was moving back towards the window with the child, he saw another on the floor. Using the voice of another fireman as a guide, he made his way back towards the window, gave the child over, then went back for the 2nd. The heat was so great that he could not approach the 2nd victim from the front, he had to use his body as a shield & back into the fully involved room, stretch out his arms & picked up a 1 year old baby girl. Now, near totally exhausted & burned on his wrists & knees, FF Battillo crawled with the child to the window. Although both children suffered severe burns of 40% of their bodies, they survived because of the undaunted heroic actions of FF Battillo. .......as Jim is laid to rest i wonder where the 2 victims are today.....hopefully surviving Thanks to Jim.
