6 . Off-duty firefighter Roben Duge smelled the smoke, saw the flames and heard the screams from his neighbor's house and thought instantly of his own family. The heroic smoke eater pulled a grandmother and two children from a burning house, on Thursday night, while walking home from his job at Ladder 103 in Brooklyn.

“I’m not a hero, I'm just reacting off instinct (本能),” the fearless father said on Friday at home, right next door to the fire-damaged house. His wife Crystal disagreed “It’s just who he is.” He is a superman.

The mild-mannered firefighter was heading home from the subway when he noticed the thick black smoke pouring out of his neighbor’s house. “A child playing downstairs in the basement accidentally started the fire and he was too frightened to tell his grandmother as the flames spread quickly,” reporters said. Duge, a five-year FDNY experienced firefighter, started rushing toward the two-storeyed residence when he saw the smoke. Visions of his own three kids flashed through his mind. “When I heard the kids screaming, I realized it from the bottom of my heart,” Duge told the Daily Neivs. “I thought how I could get in deep enough because I didn’t have any equipment and I didn’t know how dangerous it was.”

The grandmother, a stroke victim, was merely able to get around on her own when he made his way inside. “The lady could stand up, but she needed assistance to walk and the kids were screaming and scared to death,” said Duge.

After getting the three residents out of their house, he assisted them over to his home. The fire was brought under control about half an hour after it started. Duge, reflecting on his daring rescue, shrugged (耸肩) off the praise that was arrived via text and voicemail from fellow   firefighters. “We often operate in chaos and we do put ourselves at risk,” said the FDNY officer.

2. What did Duge find when he entered the burning house?
