Evangelyn Code told ABC2 that Lutherville VFC Firefighter Mark Falkenhan rescued her from her third floor apartment during Wednesday night’s fire.

“I was getting ready to jump and he asked me please don’t jump, I’m coming to you with a ladder and he came over with a ladder,” said Code.

She returned to the apartment complex Thursday and told reporter Brian Kuebler:

“He was my hero but I feel bad about what happened, I really do. Knowing he was a volunteer firefighter and leaves his two children, his wife….I feel bad.”
