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.
While doing so, Jimmy discovered a Boxer dog tied to the stove. Jimmy cut the tie and rescued the dog from the smoke filled apartment..Aside from being a bit stressed…the dog was fine and has been placed in a temporary home…
Here are a couple of photos of the incident along with the lucky dog afterwards–all recovered……
