Fire hero proposes to girlfriend on TV
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.
