NYPD officers' dramatic rescue of an elderly woman trapped underneath her couch in the aftermath of a Bronx home explosion Tuesday morning was captured on video. Bronx woman Yolanda Jiminez, 83, was saved by officers after neighbors reported hearing screams from the home. The rescue was recorded by an officer's bodycam as officers made their way inside the wrecked, cluttered home. The Tuesday morning disaster blasted Martha Dagbasta, 77, who was killed, and her sister, 82, from their home following an apparent gas explosion in the building in the Longwood section of the Bronx. The cause has not been officially determined. Both the 82-year-old and Jiminez are hospitalized. The explosion left seven others injured, including a 68-year-old woman and five other NYPD officers who were called to the scene at Fox Street and Intervale Avenue around 11am. Video footage captured the moment NYPD officers rushed into a Bronx home adjacent to the scene of a blaze to rescue an 83-year-old woman Officers rushed to the home of Yolanda Jiminez, 83, after neighbors heard screaming coming from inside Jiminez was found underneath a couch amid a pile of debris as officers picked her up and pulled her to safety The beginning of the footage shows people running down the street following the explosion of the three-story building. 'Somebody's in there!' someone screams as one officer goes toward the home next door to the origin of the blaze. Police then enter that home, which is cluttered with broken pieces from the ceiling and furniture. 'She's under the couch! She's under the couch!' a man inside the home tells the officers. A woman is heard moaning in pain underneath the debris as officers head towards the collapsed couch. Three of the officers then overturn the couch revealing a woman pinned against the back corner of the room. 'One, two, let’s go. Get her over the couch!,' one of the officers command as they lift her up and pull her to safety. The scene of the Bronx fire began around 11am due to an apparent gas explosion at a three-story building in the Longwood section of the borough NYPD officers had rushed to the scene as neighbors and witnesses were seen running down the street Officers went into Jiminez's home after hearing reports from neighbors that someone was trapped inside The bodycam footage of the rescue was later released by the NYPD who were commended by the community for their efforts. 'We saved lives today. Our actions saved lives,' NYC Mayor Eric Adams said at a press conference. 'When you see the (cops') body-cam video, you’re going to see the quick response of the officers going into the building next door from the explosion, not realizing if there would be an additional explosion, but they went inside and carried out a woman who was trapped inside.' 'There's so much we need to find out about this incident. It’s an ongoing investigation to determine what happened.' Jiminez's relatives said she had suffered a heart attack recently. 'It's not easy. This isn't easy,' her nephew Armando Garcia told CBS2. Garcia said that he had been warned before the explosion by a neighbor who reported smelling gas in the building. 'He knocked on her door, because he smelled gas. So he went in to ask her if she had a leak or something. She didn't smell it, but he said he smelled it,' he said. 'Then they sat down, they were talking, and when they were talking, that's when the explosion happened.' A neighbor told police that Jiminez was trapped underneath the couch in the debris-cluttered home Pieces of the ceiling and disheveled furniture were seen scattered around the room Screams and cries of pain were heard coming underneath the collapsed couch Three of the officers managed to pull the couch of Jiminez who was seen trapped toward the back wall Jiminez was found and pulled to safety by the officers Other witnesses to the scene compared the moment the building had exploded to an action movie sequence. 'The metal melted away. I saw flames in the middle. It was like you lit a match and it went boom,' a witness told the network. 'I just heard an explosion. I checked my window and I see the third house was just on fire completely,' another witness reported. The aftermath of the two-alarm Bronx fire that killed 77-year-old Martha Dagbasta and injured her 82-year-old sister on Tuesday after they were found lying on the ground outside of the building More than 100 firefighters were called to the scene of the blaze A 68-year-old woman and five officers were also reportedly injured as a result of the fire The fire comes just over one week after another large fire in the Bronx killed 17 people in an apartment building just three miles away. Fire experts, attributing smoke to those fatalities, believe a self-closing door in the Twin Parks North West complex may have malfunctioned, allowing the smoke to spread through the building. They believe the fire was caused by a faulty space heater. 'The fire was contained to the hallway just outside this two-story apartment, but the smoke travelled throughout the building and the smoke is what caused the deaths and the serious injuries,' Fire Commissioner Daniel Nigro said during a press conference last Monday. Fire Marshals have ruled the fire 'accidental,' noting that it was caused by a malfunctioning space heater and that a 'smoke alarm was present and operational'. A New York City official, who spoke to the newspaper on the condition of anonymity, revealed fire marshals suspect the space heater had been running uninterrupted for multiple days. According to a list of resident maintenance requests shared online, building received at least four complaints last year of units being without heat. It is unclear if the unit where the fire started was having an issue with heat. All rights reserved for this news site (dailymail) and under his responsibility
