FORT WAYNE, Ind. (Indiana's NewsCenter) --- A Fort Wayne Firefighter barely survived a wall collapse at a multi-alarm fire Sunday.

Dramatic video shot by photojournalist Aaron Dohring shows a large wall at the Momper Insulation Company collapse onto the firefighter, with other firefighters quickly rushing to pull him from the burning rubble.

Had the rest of that wall come down it appears as if it could have taken out the ladder truck, given the proximity and the truck's position.

So Someone has to say it.

If you've gone defensive why are firefighters in the collapse zone?

Watch it closely just before it comes down. The guy standing with the red helmet dives in and pushes the nozzle man forward preventing him from being crushed. That guy deserves a commendation at the least! Head on a swivel...Excellent job by him.

Good eyes. Excellent job for sure. Glad to see that it appears the FF's were all alright.
