Residents trapped in a burning building climbed seven storeys down on a water pipe to escape in southern China.

The video, filmed in the city of Nanning in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region on September 3, shows the huge fire engulfing the roof of a building and the heavy smoke rising into the air.

In another clip, a person was seen climbing down the building from the sixth-floor on a water pipe.

18 fire engines and 70 firemen arrived on the site to extinguish the fire.

Four trapped people all escaped the burning building successfully by climbing down themselves. No casualties were reported.

The case is in further investigation and the video was provided by local media with permission.
