Firefighter Catches Baby Tossed from Balcony during Fire

An assistant fire chief from Minnesota this week experienced a new first on the job.

North St. Paul Assistant Fire Chief Dustin Kalis on Sunday caught a baby girl who was carefully dropped from a second-floor balcony by her father to escape a raging fire.  

There was an active fire on the first floor when Kalis said he arrived at the 24-unit apartment complex. He started to give orders to the responding firefighters and he heard a plea for help from the side of the building.

“[I] look up and see the dad coming out with the baby,” Dustin Kalis said. He instructed the father to see if he could leave the apartment and make his way outside, but the father told him there was too much smoke and needed to drop her. He said he coached the father, who has not been identified, from the balcony. Ten units were damaged in the fire and no one was injured, thankfully. 

Scary moment though...
