Ji-Hoon Seo called local 911, and the dispatcher called Brooklyn, NY, police to send help.

Although Seo knew his fiancée's address and which floor she lives on, he was not sure of the apartment number, so authorities had to do some research to get the exact address.

Firefighters kicked their way in and treated Seo’s girlfriend for an asthma attack.
