He is one of the 42 people whom the police and rescue services evacuated to Hölö recreational center, right nearby. In a subdued voice, he tells what happened over the phone.

We woke up at five o'clock, something smelled and was on fire. I opened the door to see what was happening. We jumped from the balcony, he says.

Bahtar Yakubov Aliev couldn't see if the stairwell was on fire, but taking that route was no alternative, he explains.

In the apartment, there were Bahtar Yakubov Aliev's eight-year-old child with a friend, family members, and friends.

In total, six people, including two children, jumped from the balcony on the second floor. Miraculously, none of them were injured.

He doesn't know what condition his apartment is in yet.

The apartment may be water-damaged, but we don't know.

Now he doesn't know what to do.

I drive a truck, and I don't have my keys or driver's license with me. I don't know what will happen now.
