TWO HEROIC FIREFIGHTERS DECIDE THERE WAS NO TIME TO WAIT FOR BACKUP. THEY CRAWLED THROUGH AN INFERNO TO SAVE A YOUNG WOMAN WITH CEREBRAL PALSY TRAPPED INSIDE. (PHOTOS).

 Two heroic firefighters decide there was no time to wait for backup. They crawled through an inferno to save a young woman with cerebral palsy trapped inside.

Two brave firefighters from San Bernardino, California put it all on the line when they crawled through conditions so volatile, their protective gear melted in the intense temperatures. 

When firefighters arrived at a single story home in San Bernardino on Monday, February 3rd, the home was fully engulfed in flames. They immediately came in contact with the homeowner who was frantically telling them her 23-year-old daughter who suffered from cerebral palsy was still inside.

That is the very moment when Jessie Quiceno and Nic Turner knew there was no time to wait for help. The pair rushed head first into the blazing home. These brave men had to crawl on their hands and knees from blazing room to blazing room trying to locate the young woman. The conditions were so deadly that it was melting their protective gear and everything around them.

Nic Turner said, "We were crawling down the hallway with smoke to the floor, zero visibility.  My hands were getting stuck to things because stuff was melting around me."

As they groped around blindly for access to the back room, Turner finally felt the door knob. As they entered they could hear moaning coming from nearby. As the two heroes scooped up the young woman and began to plan an exit their brothers on the outside came through in the nick of time.

When the back up crews arrived the mother indicated what room her daughter was in. With that information, the outside crews quickly made their way to that area and began smashing out windows, giving Turner, Quiceno and their victim an easy escape route.

The young woman was taken to the hospital in serious but stable condition. 

With so much bad news these days, it is great to hear a story where two men were willing to make the ultimate sacrifice to save someone, but everything turned out perfect. 

Great job, Jesse Quiceno and Nic Turner. You really are heroes.
