Snow Hits Russian Firefighter During Rescue

Jan. 22, 2013
A Russian firefighter was dramatically thrown back down a ladder after he was hit by a huge chunk of snow hanging from a burning building. He was about five stories up the ladder, climbing to rescue a mother and her baby when he was knocked backwards. The unknown firefighter then manages to grab hold of the ladder, breaking his fall. However, he then heroically gets back up again with help of a colleague and continues to help in the rescue. Another fireman climbed up the ladder and pulled a baby out the fourth floor window and climbed back down in the city of Magadan, Russia.
