NYC firefighters rescue woman dangling from window during apartment blaze

DRAMATIC footage shows a person dangling from a window of a New York City apartment building on Saturday (November 5) morning where a fire started on the 20th floor.

The video, filmed on a mobile phone, shows a person hanging from a window as smoke billows out, while another person leans out with their upper body. A firefighter could be see reaching down to the pair below from an upper window, before other firefighters arrived on the scene to rescue residents.

At least 38 people were injured in the blaze which the New York City Fire Department said was caused by a "lithium ion battery connected to a micro mobility device".
