Brian Mitchell of Ladder 122 checks his gear after he and a crew of 60 firefighters beat back an all-hands blaze on 10th Street between Seventh and Eighth avenues on June 22.
The fire erupted on the second floor of the three story building just after 3:30 pm and took about an hour to bring under control, FDNY officials said.
One resident — a woman in her 70s — was rescued from the burning apartment. She, a second resident and three firefighters were taken to New York Methodist Hospital with minor injuries.
Mitchell was credited with the save.
The cause of the blaze was still under investigation on Wednesday.
