(FOX 5) – Atlanta, Ga. – An Atlanta firefighter rescued a woman from a condo fire in Buckhead on Wednesday morning.
Neighbor Michael Bald and a motorist also came to the rescue after a fire erupted in the kitchen of one of the condos.
The owner of the condo got out safely, but his employee was trapped on the second floor.
“She was up in the middle window with smoke coming out, but the ladder couldn’t reach her,” said Bald.
Three neighbors and a man named Marquis Brown, who was just driving by, worked to save her.
“I saw her waving her hands out, there was smoke coming out the middle window. So, I figured I would want someone to help me in this case so I pulled over in his driveway,” said Brown.
Two rescuers were already inside battling the blaze and trying to reach the woman too. Then, the fire department showed up.
“I threw the ladder up and I went up and grabbed her down and assisted her back down to the ground,” said Sgt. Niji Keshinro with Atlanta Fire Department.
Firefighters contained the fire and two neighbors were taken to Grady Hospital for treatment for smoke inhalation.
