DRAMATIC VIDEO: Firefighters, Neighbors Rescue Women From House Fire

Philadelphia firefighters and neighbors teamed up to rescue two women from a row home fire in Philadelphia Thursday morning.

SkyForce10 captured the dramatic rescue along the 1800 block of N 33rd Street in Strawberry Mansion around 9:45 a.m.

As some smoke pours out of a window you can see what appears to be a woman in a black shirt and an older woman in red out on top of a bay window.

Firefighters guide the frightened younger woman slowly down the ladder to the lower roof. Once on the lower roof, you can see two men come out of a neighboring home and help the woman into the adjacent home.

The firefighters then help the older woman down the ladder and carry her into the same next door window.

Firefighters said everyone made it out safely and despite the victims being visibly shaken -- and at least one woman being taken away in an ambulance -- there were no serious injuries.

The American Red Cross of Southeastern Pennsylvania helped out three families affected by the blaze.
