The heroes, Dombaev Dzhambulat and Ouloubaev Aslan, did not hesitate to scale the building without any safety equipment.

"He said to me, 'I'm scared, I'm scared, I can't walk', Dzhambulat recalled.

Working together, Dzhambulat and Aslan carried the elderly man from his smoke-filled balcony to an adjacent balcony.

Afterwards, Aslan was asked by reporters if he was afraid.

"I saw an old person in trouble and I did not hesitate to climb," Aslan told 20 Minutes. "I did not have time to be afraid, I had to go."

Firefighters arrived soon after to put out the fire.
