NEW YORK (UPI) – A New York man invited to appear on “Good Morning America” for rescuing a man and a boy from a fire surprised his girlfriend with an on-air marriage proposal.
Horia Cretan, 33, appeared on the ABC morning show Thursday to tell how he carried a ladder from the Bronx store he was working at Wednesday to the burning building and climbed the fire escape to rescue a man who was having trouble climbing out of a window and a 4-year-old boy who was unconscious.
He ended the segment by asking his girlfriend, Desiree, to marry him with a promise that “there’s never going to be a dull moment.” Desiree, 24, quickly accepted the proposal.
Cretan told “Good Morning America” the boy was taken to a hospital once firefighters arrived and is expected to recover.
“He’s a brave little kid,” he said. “He’s really strong to go through what he went through.”
