According to the police, juvenile affairs inspector Maksat Maipasov noticed flames erupting from a second-floor apartment as he passed by. He rushed to assist.
"Quickly organizing the evacuation of residents and donning a gas mask, he risked his life and entered the burning apartment to check if anyone was still inside. Terrified neighbors had already called emergency services," shared the law enforcement officers.
Soon, firefighters arrived at the scene and swiftly extinguished the flames.
It was previously reported about another heroic act. A guard saved a person involved in a car accident on the Karaganda – Astana highway.
