An unidentified man is being hailed as a hero for rushing into a burning building in Fresno, Calif., to rescue a senior citizen who was trapped inside.

“As I got out of the car, this woman came up with this baby and said, ‘My dad is in there! My dad is in there!’ I didn’t know what to do. I felt so helpless," Beth Lederach, who recorded the footage of the successful rescue, told the Fresno Bee.

Lederach said the hero seemed to come from nowhere.

He just calmly walked right in there and then came walking right back out with this guy," Lederach told the newspaper.

The video shows the man walk into the smoke and flames. At one point, a crash or explosion sends other would-be rescuers fleeing, but not the hero, who emerges from the blaze with the 73-year-old man draped over his shoulder.

showed my youngest son the first video and told him that man was a true hero. We both sat in awe watching him carry that guy out of the smoke and flames.

 

    Watched the 2nd video and almost cried. Love that guy. He is also a true hero.

Is it me, or did that woman not even thank the guy in the first video.  Did I miss that?
