We’re learning more about the two teenagers who escaped a deadly early morning fire in the East Village on Thursday.

CBS2’s Leah Mishkin spoke to the family, who are still trying to navigate their way forward.

The video was hard to watch – two teenage siblings climbing out the window of their fourth floor apartment, to run from the flames inside. They made their way down a pole on the side of the building.
