“Hold on, you’re going for a ride,” Anthony Tatulli, 43, told the woman before scooping her up in his arms like a baby, and carrying her down a flight of stairs and out of the Frederick Douglass Blvd building near W. 139th St. at 9:15 a.m. as flames devoured the bottom floor.
“When something like this happens, you either react or you don’t react,” Tatulli said about the heroic save. “I didn’t think that the building could have blown up. All you think about is the task at hand.”

When Tatulli stepped outside, “the corner was covered in smoke,” he said.
He and two of his employees called 911 on their cellphones as they ran into the building, where they knocked on doors and kicked in windows to help people get out.

Due to Tatulli’s quick response, he was able to find the bewildered woman in the second floor hallway.
“She was right outside her apartment door,” he remembered. “She had no idea what was going on.”

Tautly added that what bothers him is seeing the residents being out of their homes on Thanksgiving Day.
“I feel bad that it’s Thanksgiving and they’re out of their homes,” Tatulli said. “That’s what bothers me. I’m going to have dinner with my family and some of these people won’t have a home to return to.”
