(WSB-TV<\/a>) \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>Firefighters say the odds were against a baby who survived a house fire Wednesday night in southwest Atlanta.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we got on scene, there were people outside yelling and screaming that there was a child inside,\u201d Sgt. Cortez Stafford with the Atlanta Fire Department said.<\/p>\n

Fire officials gave Channel 2 Action News a photo of the 9-month-old boy being rushed to Grady Memorial Hospital.<\/p>\n

Authorities said t<\/span>he baby had soot in his nose and suffered some smoke inhalation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe train. We prepare for this,\u201d\u00a0Sgt. Stafford said.<\/p>\n

The fire in the 4000 block of Bakers Ferry Road in southwest Atlanta surprised the family living there.<\/p>\n

Fire officials said they rushed to escape the flames but the baby was trapped inside.<\/p>\n

Squad 4 used a thermal imaging camera to locate the child.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo Squad 4 went in there on their hands and knees to look for this child. We had other crews in there searching too,\u201d Stafford said.\u00a0\u201cThey\u2019re looking under everything. You have to search high and low and I believe they found the child under a mattress or under some debris on the floor.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThankfully the child was alert, the child was dazed and confused a little bit, rightfully so, but the child was breathing.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
