One firefighter kept running in and out rescuing people, when a second firefighter joined the effort.
Neighbors helped too by throwing a ladder up against the building to rescue another victim.
Seven people were treated at Booth Memorial Hospital with mostly smoke inhalation injuries. No of the injuries were considered life-threatening.
The firefighters are identified as Thomas Morgan, of Truck 18 in Manhattan, and Steve Devany, of Engine 46 in the Bronx. They did not know each other before this rescue.
