Screaming with pain, Mrs. Moros rushed into the vard with her little ones, and Lieuten- ant Thomas Higgins of Engine com- pany No. 5, who was nearby, rushed to her aid, throwing his coat about her body to smother the flames. Lieuten- ant Higgins was burned in his brave attempt to save the woman’s life. The children were so badly burned that they died in the yard where they fell, but Mrs. Moros survived until yester- day and asked that the last rites of the Catholic church be accorded her.
