John Manzione heard the commotion and ran over to help when the baby was found in a Maspeth pool on Thursday.
"I started to perform CPR with the chest compression and a few breaths and the baby responded right away, thank god," he said, "He started to breathe, he had the gurgling, I took him on the side, I got the water out and a few more breaths, he started to breathe on his own."
Manzione retired from the FDNY in February after 32 years on the force.
