Fireman falls down ladder but is pretty lucky, if you catch our drift

1/18/2013

Watch this Siberian fireman tumble down his ladder when a chunk of snow cascades off the roof as he attempts to rescue a toddler from a burning building. Fire apparently still melts snow, even in Russia, where it's been a bone-chilling 14 degrees. Amazingly, the firefighter's quick reflexes kick in after his full body check, and he gets a grip on the ladder, preventing a full-fledged fall to the ground. This happened Thursday in the city of Magadan, and in a fantastic display of teamwork, his buddies get the job done, rescuing both the toddler and their fallen comrade.
