A pair of heroes in Queens raced to the rescue of people in a burning house in Queens. It happened on 140th Avenue in Jamaica. The identity of one of the heroes remains a mystery. "One thing I keep hearing is the father screaming for help, that’s all I keep thinking about," said Horace Palmer, a neighbor. Horace Palmer heard the screams and came running. His neighbor was trapped in the basement by the choking smoke. So he smashed the window and used his bleeding hands to pull him out. "Jumped the fence, broke the glass, pulled him out, another Good Samaritan who was driving by in an SUV, silver, helped me pull him out without him getting cut," Palmer said.
Palmer says that other man may have been a passing livery driver. On the other side of the house, a man and his children were jumping from the second story.
