Rabat – The intense video shows several female employees and customers of a beauty and massage parlor desperately escaping through first floor windows of an apartment building connected to the parlor, as smoke pours out behind them.

The fire is thought to have originated in the parlor, though no specific cause for the fire has yet been confirmed.

Large crowds can be seen gathered to see the spectacle, which occurred in the central district of Geuliz in Marrakech earlier this week.

One man is seen helping the women as they jump onto the balconies of the shops below as they seek safety. Fortunately, no people are thought to have been badly hurt in the incident.
