A man ran into a burning home in central California and came out carrying a man who lives inside over his shoulder as flames popped and exploded behind him.

Beth Lederach told the Fresno Bee that she was driving by when she saw the duplex in Fresno engulfed in flames on Saturday. She pulled over, called 911 and began shooting video with her phone.

A woman standing on the sidewalk holding a baby was shouting that her father, who had been hooked up to an oxygen tank, was still inside.

“I was pretty shaken up about it,” Lederach told the newspaper. “As I got out of the car, this woman came up with this baby and said, ‘My dad is in there! My dad is in there!’ I didn’t know what to do. I felt so helpless.”
