WATCH: Texas firefighters rescue mother, 3 children from raging blaze
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Firefighters in Texas' largest city helped rescue a family from a second-floor balcony as a raging fire tore through their apartment building early Monday in a dramatic moment captured on video.
The blaze at the Corner Village Apartments began around 1:30 a.m., and quickly spread to three alarms, fire officials told FOX26 Houston.
A firefighter who was rushing to set up water told The Houston Chronicle he heard screams for help coming from a second-floor balcony, and looked up to see the woman and her three small children calling for help.

The woman and her three children could then be seen in a video being helped over the balcony's railing and down to safety as flames rage above them.

No injuries were reported in the three-alarm fire, but the entire sixteen-unit building was destroyed, according to fire officials.
