Man holds baby while hanging from balcony during house fire in Lagos (video)

A man heroically held on to a second-floor balcony while carrying a baby to escape a burning building in Lagos. 
 

A video shared online shows spectators standing in the street and in a compound, looking up at the man hanging for dear life with the child. 
 

After a while, a ladder was placed against the wall to allow the man climb down with the child. 
 

A fire truck attended the scene and put off the fire. 
 

Though properties were damaged, no life was lost in the fire.
