Dad gives life to save his kids

Published by at 9:22 am

What a horrible tragedy:

TORONTO — In one of two fatal GTA fires Sunday, a Toronto dad handed his baby son to a visiting neighbour — then gave his life in a desperate bid to find a second child in the family’s North York home.

Toronto firefighters waded through heavy black smoke and pulled the man and his 12-year-old daughter from the second floor of their 1 1/2-storey postwar Kemp Square house shortly after 3 p.m.

Neither had lifesigns, but Toronto Fire District Chief Stephan Powell said paramedics revived the girl.

This man was a hero. May he rest in peace.
