Two girls jumped to safety from a third floor window after an inferno tore through their home in Atlanta on Tuesday, June 30.
The fire that destroyed an apartment complex, leaving 29 people homeless, forced two teenage girls to jump from a window into the arms of their brave neighbours.
“I heard someone banging on the window — you could see the window all broken, so we just ran over there and helped them out,” Deigo Silva, one of the rescuers said.
The video shows one of the first girl smashing through the glass and falling head down from the building, where two neighbours managed to catch her.

later, another girl appears in the window, jumps and safely lands on
her feet at the very moment a raging inferno reached their room.
Luckily, the youngsters were not seriously hurt and escaped the fire with just minor cuts. Local authorities are currently investigating the cause of the fire.
