As a trained EMT, Berger is thankful to the crews that saved him and his dog’s life. The Fire Department’s Deputy Chief Michael Gigante told NBC 10 that, in this case, it was much harder to rescue the dog.“You can see from the video that they’re just absolutely so well trained,” Berger said. “It was just like two guys I was hanging out with. I mean, they executed flawlessly.”
