"We felt like we're on top of Killington for about 15 minutes," Pietruszewski said. "Every once in a while something like this comes in, and gets your blood pumping."
By the time they got to the house, they heard baby Harlem crying, a good sign.
"The father pretty much did all the hard work for us," Brockton firefighter Victor Soto-Perez said.
"By far I will remember this Christmas for a while," paramedic Alex Bailey added.
Simmons and Harlem are resting in the hospital, tired but full of gratitude everything turns out the way it did.
"A Christmas miracle," paramedic Marc Bernard said.
"A Christmas miracle," Harlem's dad said, with a smile.
