On July 26 while the Giglio Tower was being built, smoke was spotted coming from Pleasant Avenue and 115th street in East Harlem.The Giglio Builders immediately sprung into action disregarding their own safety.
While a call was being put into 911, Jimmy Chesnos climbed onto the ledge of the apartment and broke a window, Gregory Esposito handed him an extinguisher he had obtained and the fire was put out.

Here are a couple of photos of the incident along with the lucky dog afterwards–all recovered……
