Russian Fireman hit by huge snow chunk as he attempts to save child

This firefighter had a lucky escape after being knocked off his ladder by a huge mound of snow.

The Russian emergency service worker was trying to rescue a child from a flat fire when he was struck on the head by the snow.

It knocked him backwards and despite being clearly dazed he managed to hang on to the ladder until a fellow firefighter came to his aid.

The footage shows a colleague passing over him to grab hold of the toddler and take him to safety.
