Rescuing a honeymoon
David Squillante and Doran Smith, both 38, of Bristol, RI got married and were on their belated honeymoon in Spain when they became famous. Wednesday morning they were walking on their way to a park tour in Barcelona Spain when Doran noticed women screaming from a flaming building entryway. The sign said it was nursery or daycare for babies. David immediately dropped his backpack and ran across the stree’ into the smoking building’s front door. “I just ran in and saw a bunch of babies sleeping and screaming,” David, who comes from a family of firefighters, told NBC News. David speaks very little Spanish but said ‘instinct took over’ as he ran into the burning building and straight into the smoky playroom. “I saw a flame coming out of the doorway, next to the door that these women had come out of,” Doran said.
“Instinct took over,” David said. “I found myself looking at 15, 20 babies and immediately just kind of lined everyone up and we started grabbing them, putting them into the cribs. The playroom, where the children were, had not yet caught fire when the couple arrived to help. ‘It did seem like we walked by right when the chaos was starting.” David began placing around 20 children into wheeled cribs as the smoke got heavier and wheeled them out to his new wife, all while trying to calm the nursery staff. He found one of the children hiding in a playhouse and handed the child off to Doran, who said the baby seemed frightened but wasn’t crying like the others. The staff likely hadn’t evacuated the building yet because “there weren’t flames in the nursery. I think the staff was just trying to figure out where the smoke was coming from and trying to decide what to do. We couldn’t speak the language, but there was a universal language – we were all just trying to help.” As others jumped in, they started passing babies down a line out of the building and into a local high school across the street. The whole process took around 10 minutes, the couple said. The honeymooners left soon after the firefighters arrived and they believe no one was injured. Since the fire, David said he is looking into following in his father and grandfather’s footsteps and becoming a volunteer firefighter.
