One of Boston’s bravest saved the life of a woman on his way to work Saturday.
Boston firefighter Pat Foley was heading to Engine 21 in Dorchester around 7 a.m. when he noticed a fire in an apartment building on Sumner Street, about a block away from his station.
Foley called in the fire, ran inside, banged on doors and found the apartment that was burning.
Firefighters from Engine 21 forced their way in and found an adult woman unconscious.
She was taken to a hospital in serious condition. No one else was hurt.
It’s not clear yet how the fire started.
Damage is estimated at $50,000.
