A Pennsylvania man risked his life to help rescue his neighbors from a burning home over the weekend, dramatic video shows.

Oscar Rivera climbed the three-story building as it was engulfed in flames on April 14, according to WFMZ-TV. Rivera was playing with his kids in his backyard when he told the outlet he heard a “boom.”

He rushed to the front yard and saw the home across the street in flames with his neighbors inside, per the outlet.

On a narrow ledge at the burning home, a woman was trying to pull a man out of the attic window, The Morning Call reported. As smoke billowed from the window, the man was calling for help.

When the victim yelled, “Help me, I can’t walk,” Rivera pulled him from the window. That’s when the Storyful video picks up the action.
