Two young men salve an elderly man from a burning building

In real life, most heroes don't wear spandex or shiny capes. Usually, they are Average Joes just like me and you. The only difference is, when they find themselves in the right place/at the right time, they are capable of saving someone's life. In once particular case, a couple of young men managed to save an elderly person from a burning building by climbing up to his balcony using garbage dumpsters.

In April 2020, a set of apartment buildings located in the city of Montereau-Fault-Yonne France caught on fire. Thought to be caused by arsen, the fire ended up taking the lives of a mother and her daughter. The fire could have ended up taking a 3rd life if it hadn't been for the bravery and fast-thinking actions of two young men.  

Dombaev Dzhambulat and Ouloubaev Aslan are two close friends who have been living in France respectively for the past 7 and 9 years. The day of the fire, they happened to pass by the burning building when they heard someone screaming out for help. When they looked up, they noticed an elderly man in one of the top balconies of the building. Surrounded by smoke and clearly terrified, the two friends knew they had to do something to save him. 

Finding several garbage bins in the area, they piled them on top of each other and climbed their way up to the old man's balcony. Within a matter of minutes, they pulled the elderly man to the adjacent balcony, beside his own apartment. Away from the smoke and fire, they were able to pull the man to safety in the midst of time. 

People gathered around to watch Dombaev and Ouloubaev's act of bravery. Someone even captured the entire event on film. One thing's for sure, it doesn't matter who you are, you'll never know what you're capable of doing until you're in the moment. Dombaev and Ouloubaev were just two friends out walking around together; now they are heroes. It doesn't matter how big or small your actions are, every act of kindness can make a difference in someone's life. Sometimes, it even saves their life.
