PITTSBURGH -- Three people are being credited with saving a disabled woman from a fire on Antrim Street in the Woods Run section of Pittsburgh.

Postal worker Bill Silay said he was walking past a home when he noticed smoke coming from it. He went inside and found the woman, but was unable to move her himself.

Silay then flagged down two Verizon workers, who ran inside the house and helped get the woman out safely.

"The situation was that the woman wasn't going to be able to get out on her own, and I wasn't going to be able to do it by myself," said Silay. "I yelled down the street to the Verizon workers. They came out of their buckets."

There were no reports of injuries.

There is no word on what caused the blaze at this time.
