Man jumps from fourth floor to escape apartment fire

A man had seconds to decide. Stay in a burning flat – or jump.

A fire tore through a fourth floor apartment early Friday morning in a residential block in Wejherowo, northern Poland. Smoke and flames poured out the windows before crews arrived.

The fire truck couldn't reach the window in time to evacuate the man trapped inside, so firefighters set up a rescue cushion below. He jumped to safety and was taken to hospital with mild injuries.

Nine other residents, including a child, were evacuated from the building. Six fire crews worked to put out the blaze and are now clearing the damage.
