An elderly couple in Jiangxi province were cooking breakfast on Wednesday morning when the gas flame suddenly set fire to their apartment's wooden windows.

When the couple cried out for help, their upstairs neighbors located the fire and began pouring barrels of water out their own windows in an attempt to stop the fire below.

Firefighters came later and successfully extinguished the flames.
