The man was forced out of the building and onto a very narrow ledge due to deteriorating conditions inside, where fire was ripping through the 7th floor. In addition to the aerial ladder rescue, many other citizens were evacuated by air from floors above the fire. | Los Angeles Fire Department | Facebook
