They set up two rescue ladders and the plan was for the firefighters to climb up and assist the family down. But then they found out there were 8 children trapped inside things quickly changed. Fire Captain Jackie Peckrul was on her way up one of the rescue ladders when she realized a baby was about to be tossed down to her. Thankfully she made the catch. Being a mom of triplets herself Jackie knew how terrified these parents must have been to be willing to drop their 4-week-old baby down to a total stranger.
