Son Climbs 15 Storeyed Burning Building To Save His Mom! Watch Hair-raising Video

The bond between a child and mother is the purest and full of love and care. A mother can go beyond any limits to assure the safety of her child and vice versa. And this was recently proved true by a 35-year-old man from West Philadelphia.

The man named Jermaine climbed down from the 15th storey of a high rise building engulfed in flames to escape the fire. The video of the incident which shows the man scaling the building like Spiderman has gone viral on social media. Rescue helicopters can be seen shining lights on the building in order to help the man climb down safely.

Giving details about the incident, 6 ABC reporter Christie Ileto wrote on Twitter, “Officials say fire started in the trash room on the first floor. Flames shot up the trash chute to the top floors, heavy smoke then poured into hallways. 4 residents suffered smoke inhalation, 3 first responders had to be treated for that as well as heat exhaustion.”

According to NY Post, Jermaine reportedly said that his priority was to save his 65-year-old mother who lives in the building.

“They said we won’t let you in. I took it upon myself so there’s no limits that’s my mother. All for my mom’s safety, period. I wasn’t worried about mine at all. She can’t get out of the bed or walk around so if there’s a fire she needs help out,” he said.

The breathtaking video is going viral on the internet like wildfire with people heaping praise on Jermaine for his epic climb down the high-rise building!

Jermaine, however, feared getting arrested all way long as he climbed down but said that the police officers understood the circumstances and let him go. “He told me if I didn’t leave I was going straight to jail, straight to jail. Because that was his job. But, he actually did cut me a break. He understood the circumstances, he knew – when your adrenaline is pumping, and your mom is up there – you’d do anything you can,” he said.

The man has surely impressed us all! What an act of balanced calm and bravery it was!
