Smoke filled the air and turned the sunny afternoon dark recently as a unit on the second floor of a block of flats caught fire.<\/p>
The building is situated just off Howe Circle in Kernick Road, Sunnyridge.<\/p>\n
Luckily the fire was noticed by a number of people in the area, one of whom was Ashley Records from Records Industrial Hardware.<\/p>
Two other passersby, Antony Buissinne and Ashley Allen, also stopped to assist.<\/p>\n
Records immediately called Ekurhuleni Disaster Management and Emergency Services (DEMS), and then, along with Lucky Tseko and some car guards from the area, grabbed some equipment and a fire extinguisher before racing to the scene.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Allen had climbed up to the smoking flat and had started to break the windows.<\/p>\n
Buissinne climbed up to the flat as well and handed the fire extinguisher over to Allen, who was now on the balcony.<\/p>\n
It was a daring feat, and the crowd that had gathered below watched with bated breath.<\/p>\n
