Dad and daughter jump onto mattress to escape second floor fire

Footage has emerged from China of a dad throwing his three-year-old daughter out of a blazing house onto a mattress before jumping out himself.

The video, filmed in Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province last Sunday, shows thick black smoke pouring out of a flat on the second floor.

Neighbours then hold a mattress at the bottom to catch the father and daughter, both of whom escaped relatively unhurt.
