Soldier home for holidays died saving lives in Bronx inferno

By Joe Marino

December 29, 2017 | 10:26pm

An Army solider died in the Bronx inferno Thursday night — while heroically rushing in and out of the apartment building to save several other lives, his grieving dad told The Post.

“That’s his nature,” said Kwabena Mensah, 62, whose son Emmanuel died when the Belmont building went up in flames.

“He was trying to help people out from the fire, and unfortunately he lost his life. He tried to do his best.”

Emmanuel, 28, had been home from Army duty for the holiday after finishing basic training in Georgia, said the dad. He was scheduled to head next to Virginia and from there to battlefields unknown.

The man never made it to combat, but he still engaged himself honorably for sure.
