A US man saved his 5-month-old niece from flames by throwing her out of the second-floor window of a fire ravaged house.
The man dropped the baby from the window, who then landed safely in the outstretched arms of her mother.
Owen Moore was jolted awake on Friday by the smell of smoke, with flames lapping the second floor of his West Philadelphia house.
The girl's mother jumped out of the rear second-floor window and then waited with open arms for Moore to toss the girl down, NBC10 Philadelphia reported.
Moore's family of six managed to escape the flames, thanks to swift actions by Moore and another family member.
"It was so scary. I didn't know what to do," Moore said.
"When I looked out of there, my first instinct was I couldn't run through it. The fire was coming straight at us. So I didn't know what to do. All I knew was I had to get (her) out of there," he said.
