NEW YORK — A hero US Postal worker caught infant twin boys whose father tossed them from the third-floor fire escape of a Bronx apartment house that was engulfed in flames and smoke early Wednesday, authorities said.
Jermaine Shirley, 30, a third-floor resident who delivers mail in Greenwich, Conn., first made sure his wife and child got out safely after he smelled smoke and discovered the blaze about 7 a.m. at 870 E. 220th St. in Williamsbridge.
He then climbed to the roof of an attached shed to the rear of the building, where he saw panicked dad Everdean Codner, 32, on a third-floor fire escape with the twin, 11-month old boys, Israel and Ishmeal Codner. “I was ready to catch. One of them, he kind of flipped a little because he was in a full ‘onesie’ suit, but I catch him,” Shirley said.
