2 children saved from blaze at apartment: "Jacksonville firefighters said that when they went into a burning apartment to save lives Tuesday night, they didn't expect to see someone trying to take a child's life right in front of them. But after fire Capt. Steve Boudreau and firefighter David Spencer got inside a bedroom barricaded with furniture, they said they found a father crushing his 2-year-old daughter on the floor. They said in Times-Union interviews Wednesday that, with air masks and other firefighting gear strapped on, they wrestled the man and rescued the toddler from his grip. Once outside, rescuers got the 2-year-old breathing again and took her to Shands Jacksonville hospital. Police said she was in critical condition Wednesday, but fire officials said her condition improved and they'd been told she would make it. Police identified the attacker as Johnnie Everette Young and charged him with arson and domestic battery as they waited to see if the child survived. "
