Services Held for Mother Who Died Saving Kids
Funeral services were held Saturday for a woman who saved her two children from a Hollywood hotel fire before falling to her death.
A Fire Department honor guard attended services for Norma Galindo at Immaculate Heart of Mary, a Roman Catholic church in Hollywood.
“We all saw the bravery that Norma Galindo showed at the fire scene and the firefighters recognize that and wanted to be here today to express that to her family,” Deputy Fire Chief John Callahan said.
The fire Aug. 16 at the Palomar Hotel, at 5473 Santa Monica Blvd., killed two people and injured six others, including four firefighters.
