GLASSBORO, N.J. (WPVI) -- Two men were honored in South Jersey for their extraordinary bravery while rescuing a person from a burning home.

The borough of Glassboro honored Climonte Suggs and Zenais Argenio on Tuesday night.

The two Water and Sewer Department employees spotted the house on fire on Franklin Road last month.

They helped one person who had jumped from a window.

The two then rescued another person who was trapped inside the house, as the flames grew.



"I heard a girl screaming, didn't think twice about it," said Suggs. "I went in the house, grabbed her, brought her outside."

The two say they are appreciative of all the support they have received for their bravery.
