A child was rescued from a multi-alarm fire in Everett, Massachusetts, Wednesday morning.Everett fire responded to the area of 140 Hancock St. just before 8 a.m.Everett Department of Public Works employees Jesse Winocour and Jason Papa say they were the first to find the fire. "We were driving down the street. We saw the smoke, I told him, 'stop the truck,'" Winocour said. "(We) see the smoke, the fire was coming out of the window. We just ran in," Papa said. The two ran in and knocked on residents' doors, but weren't able to get to a young child stuck on the third floor as smoke and flames grew too intense."I live on the first floor, and I woke up this morning with somebody banging loudly on my door," said Sueli Decarney, a resident who was displaced by the fire.A firefighter who entered the triple-decker after Winocour and Papa initially called mayday when he couldn't make his way out of the building. "I have a baby in my arms on the third. I'm lost. I don't know where I'm at," he said over the radio.The mayday was canceled when the firefighter was able to make his way out with the child. “The mayday was soon rescinded, and the firefighter self-evacuated with the child,” said Everett Fire Chief Joe Hickey.“She was unconscious, she was limp,” said Winocour. “I was panicking when I saw that, I was almost about to cry, because it was a little girl,” said witness Connie Garcia. The 3-year-old was rushed to the hospital and is expected to be OK. The firefighter also suffered non-life-threatening injuries.“They risk their own lives to save others’ lives,” Garcia said. “Thank God for that firefighter. She's alive now because of him," said Winocour. Decarney and her neighbors all escaped the burning building, leaving behind all belongings."It's not a very comfortable situation -- even more the day before the Fourth of July, it's just awful," Decarney said. Investigators are on scene still drying to determine the cause of the fire.
