Fresno, California. The setting for this real life version of Chicago Fire.

After neighbours heard an explosion, which then turned into a fire, the superheroes of the Fire Dept were called in. Expecting to be putting out a blaze, they ended up saving the lives of three children.

They managed to haul out a one-year-old boy and two girls, aged three and four, who were found unconscious in the home. The mum had been out shopping. Well done. Leave your kids alone. She is being questioned by police and the kids are being treated for smoke inhalation.

One of the firefighters had a camera on his helmet, and caught the whole thing on video.

Whoop!
