Marcos Couldn’t Wait

Although the firemen were on their way, Marcos’s dad attempted to get inside the house to save the boy, but he couldn’t get through the unbelievably thick smoke that was already engulfing the house. Cody was trapped on the 2nd floor and time was not on their side. Marcos noticed that the grandmother was attempting to pull out a ladder from the garage, so he grabbed it. He explained, “I took the ladder, and I propped it up on the window, and I crawled up the window and punched the screen out and grabbed the 7-year-old boy – about 7, he looked 7 – and grabbed him and carried him down the ladder.”
