A new video shows a firefighter nearly falling when a balcony collapses at a fire department in El Mirage, Arizona.
The video, seen at ABC15.com (http://bit.ly/HU1SWP), shows the firefighter operating on the balcony when he tumbles and strikes the balcony railing, which gives way; fortunately his leg appears to catch on something on the ledge. The firefighter is seen dangling upside down on the balcony, where other colleagues rush in with a ladder to save him.
