Your support makes all the difference.Video has captured the moment a firefighter rescued a baby from a burning tower block in Argentina.
The fire occurred in the centre of Buenos Aires.
Footage, taken from below, shows the firefighter dangerously stepping over the edge of a balcony, which seems to be at least five stories above ground level.
With the baby in their arms, the firefighter then begins to scale down the building from one level to the next.
Another person can be seen ensuring the baby is safely secured before the firefighter continued.
Local reports suggest the fire started in warehouses close to the building.
