A Neighbor Rescued Two Sisters from a Burning Apartment

Early on October 8, a fire started in an apartment on the fourth floor in Komsomolsk-on-Amur. Igor Volshtein lives one floor below. His wife heard cries and woke him. Two girls were standing on the balcony of the burning apartment.

Igor went upstairs. He crossed from a nearby apartment’s balcony and brought the girls to safety. First he helped the younger sister, then the older one. The girls are six and ten years old. They were later taken to hospital. Their mother and four other children were inside the same apartment. They died. Investigators were finding out what caused the fire. The neighbor’s quick actions helped save the two girls.
