In Dianjiang, Sichuan province recently, a woman and child found themselves trapped on a balcony as a fast-moving fire laid waste to their apartment. It turned into a dramatic race against time for rescue workers, who fought to reach the two before the flames ate them alive.
Russia Today has the video.

They’ve saved many a toddler from falling to his or her death. Also, some hilarity: http://beijingcream.com/tag/balconies/
