A man could be seen scaling down a 19-story apartment building in Philadelphia on Thursday night as a fire blazed inside the structure.

The fire started at a building in West Philadelphia at around 9:30 p.m. and the man was apparently attempting to escape the smoke coming from the top floors when he climbed down, according to WPVI-TV.

The building was evacuated and some of the residents have not been accounted for.

But it appears that there were no injuries in the blaze.

The network’s helicopter caught footage of the man scaling down the 19-story building.

He safely made it to the ground.

Authorities believe the fire started in a trash compactor.
