WITI-TV, WAUWATOSA -
The father of a 4-year-old boy saved from a burning SUV in Milwaukee says his son was surrounded by angels. James "Chris" Harper said Tuesday words can't express his gratitude to off-duty firefighters Joel and John Rechlitz and others.
Pediatric surgeon David Gourlay says 4-year-old D.J. Harper is in serious but stable condition with burns over 20 percent of his body. He says many of the burns are deep and are on the scalp, face and upper body.
Harper's mother, 32-year-old Angela Baldessari of Kingsport, Tenn., was driving Sunday when her SUV hit a tree and burst into flames. She and her 2-year-old daughter were pulled out but rescue workers had to cut the boy's car-seat restraints to save him.
The Rechlitz brothers suffered burns on their hands and forearms.
