India
Riyazuddin Mansuri, a mattress shop owner in Malviya Nagar, jumped into action with his son when a fire broke out at Flourish Stay B&B.
Before firefighters arrived, they used mattresses and quilts from their store to help people trapped on upper floors land safely.
Mansuri says he only thought about saving lives in the moment, not his own losses.

After the rescue, he's unsure how to start over and is hoping the government will step in to help him get back on his feet.
