A fire rampaged the roof of a Greenwich Village apartment building Wednesday evening, and it might have claimed the life of one resident’s dog if it weren’t for the heroic efforts of the FDNY.
The fire broke out before 6 p.m., according to the New York City Fire Department. The fire was initially a three-fire alarm fire, but was later raised to five alarms.
Melissa Dibbs, a resident in the building, nearly lost her beloved dog Finnegan, but firefighters were able to get to him in time.
“I showed the Firefighters a picture of my dog, Finnegan, and they took my keys and went upstairs to the apartment to get him,” a post on the department’s Facebook page read. “When they came back down, I was so relieved and happy. I couldn’t stop saying thank you.”
