The heroic video, filmed in the city of Chengdu in Sichuan Province on March 6, shows a fireman tied by safety ropes climbing out of the window on the 21st floor.

He is then lowered down to the British shorthair cat trapped inside an air conditioner unit.

After opening the unit, the fireman took the cat out and sent it back into the flat.
