LAS VEGAS — Las Vegas firefighters are calling a homeless man a hero for saving two small children from a fire.
Fire officials say a 3-year-old girl and a 10-month-old boy were trapped in a burning apartment Friday morning.
Authorities say the children’s grandfather was cooking food and the stove caught fire. The grandfather escaped from a back bedroom but couldn’t get to the children.
Las Vegas Fire and Rescue spokesman Tim Szymanski says that’s when 36-year-old Anival Angulo happened by and pried a screen door open. The man pulled both children out of the home.
