FDNY INSANE Rope Rescue 15 Story, ARM STUCK in Bars 3 Victims

Firefighters used a daring — and rare — rope rescue to save a woman who was dangling 20 stories above the ground after a fire broke out in her Manhattan apartment Saturday.

Thirty-eight people were hurt — two of them seriously — after the three-alarm blaze erupted in the 20th floor apartment around 10:25 a.m. at 429 East 52nd St., the FDNY said.

In the dramatic video, the woman is seen hanging outside of the apartment window as smoke billowed out and firefighters surrounded her.

She was caught on a window guard and had to be freed by the four firefighters involved in the rescue.

One firefighter, who was on a rope secured inside the apartment directly above, wrapped his limbs around the woman before his colleagues slowly lowered them to the apartment below, where another firefighter pulled her inside.

The rescuer was identified by the FDNY as Artur Podgorski of Ladder 16 on East 67th Street.

Another firefighter then went to grab a second occupant of the apartment.
