‘We Were Trapped’: As Bronx Fire Raged, Family Called on God (Part 2)

“I knew that if I opened that door, that would have been it.”

As thick, black smoke blocked the only exit of her high-rise apartment, Rosie Ramos herded her family members—ages 2 to 81—into a small bedroom and called 911.

While Rosie talked to dispatchers, her elderly mother was talking to God—and their family believes that made all the difference.

This is the second and final part of the Ramos family’s gripping story of survival and faith from our podcast series, “God’s Presence in Disaster.”
