Residents make human ladder to rescue girls trapped in burning building
Residents in east China came together to rescue two girls trapped in a burning residential building on June 17, thepaper.cn reported.
As a video shot by a witness showed, two girls leaned against a balcony security window on the second floor of the burning building in Huzhou of Zhejiang Province and kept crying.
Zhang Peng, a 21-year-old man who lived nearby, climbed onto the balcony with the help of other residents who acted as a ladder to help him up. They rescued the girls before fire fighters arrived and put the fire out.
The cause of the blaze is still under investigation.
