The heartbroken mom of one of the tots who died in the horrific Easter house fire in Queens blasted the FDNY for not getting ambulances to the blaze quickly enough, as her daughter lay dying on the front lawn.
“But what happened here? What happened to the ambulances? Where were they at?” asked Khalilah Waymer, the mother of Aniya Tinglin, who perished along with her half-brother Jai’Launi, both 4.
After the children were pulled from the Bay 30th Street home in Bayswater, several precious minutes ticked away as firefighters screamed for paramedics, who were nowhere to be found.
EMS workers finally showed up 21 minutes after the original 911 call came in at 11:51 p.m. Saturday.
“It doesn’t make sense to me. What happened to their protocol here?” Waymer told The Post as tears rolled down her face. “Then when they got here, the EMTs didn’t move fast? They didn’t care about my baby?!”
A video taken by a neighbor shows a group of angry firefighters shouting down the block at paramedics, who leisurely made their way toward the house.
“Stop walking and run!” one can be heard screaming. “Come on, let’s go! There’s a f—ing baby not breathing! Hurry up!”
An FDNY spokesman said dispatch records were still being reviewed to try to find out why the ambulances were delayed.
Waymer said St. John’s Hospital doctors broke “their own rules” in pulling out all the stops to try to revive little Aniya Tinglin.
“They said they worked on them for an hour at the hospital!” the 34-year-old Waymer said of her daughter and the girl’s half-brother, Jai’Launi.
“They said two doctors were working on them and that’s not what they were supposed to do, but they were breaking their own rules trying to do everything possible to save them.”
