JIANGSU, China — A man has been hailed a hero for climbing three stories to rescue a girl trapped by a fire.
The man, who was on his way to work, took action after spotting an apartment building on fire.
He climbed three stories to see if anyone was inside and heard the voice of a little girl shouting from an adjacent window, according to KTSF.com.
The report said the man then climbed back down, got an ax and some ropes, and climbed back up toward the window to remove bars that had left the girl trapped.
He then fastened the girl to a rope, and lowered her safely to the ground with the assistance of firefighters who had arrived at the scene.
