The family of Angie Tang wants to say thank you to the firefighters that helped rescue Angie and her five-month-old son Hunter Brown from their burning home last week.
“The house was completely engulfed in flames when firefighters arrived,” Peter Leung said in a statement to Global News on Monday night. “We cannot imagine how the firefighters were able to get in and managed to pull Hunter and Angie out from their second-floor bedroom.”
Hunter did not survive and an autopsy revealed he died of smoke inhalation. Tang remains in hospital.
Fire crews were called to the home on Armitage Crescent S.W. last Tuesday.
