BRONX, NY — Rosa Thomas went to EMS Station 14 on Wednesday to thank her rescue team, three months after they brought her back from death three times.

She was welcomed by a crowd of cheering firefighters, paramedics, nurses and EMTs.

“They are heroes, in my eyes,” said Thomas, 50, smiling through tears. “They’re my heroes. I need to write a book on this.”

“It’s emotional because I’m looking at a person who was dead,” said paramedic Paul Wallace.
