A homeless man is being hailed as a hero for rescuing a family from an apartment fire: 'He was an angel.'
Phoenix mom Claudia Jimenez woke up Thursday morning to find flames ripping through her apartment.
"I opened my window and I started yelling 'Please, someone help me, there's a fire, I can't get out through the front, I need someone to help me," Jiminez told CBS News. "All I see is a lady pull open the window and she's screaming 'Please help me, please help me,'" Hollins said. "He was right underneath and he was like 'Yes, throw your daughters out, I'm going to catch them, I'm going to get them," Jiminez recalled.
"She didn't want to come at first. She was scared she was going to fall," Hollins said."I was like 'I got you. Don't worry.'"
