A Comcast worker woke to find that his apartment building was on fire, so he decided to save some people using the ladder from his truck. Nice guy.

Hartnett jumped into action, knocked on residents’ doors and ushered people to safety.

When Hartnett was outside, he said, he realized a couple was hanging out of the window of their third-floor apartment and smoke was billowing from their window.

Hartnett took the ladder off his Comcast truck and rescued the trapped couple.

“It’s just second nature, and I did have other people helping me,” said Hartnett.

All of this happened before firefighters arrived at the scene.

The blaze was contained to one unit and was extinguished Wednesday afternoon.

No injuries were reported.

Hartnett says he was just doing a community service, and helping people is what it’s all about.
