US EditionA Paris Man Will Be Decorated for Saving Children From Fire
PARIS, FRANCE, JUL 7 – Fousseynou Cissé will receive a medal for rescuing six people from a Paris fire by balancing on a ledge and passing babies to neighbors, officials said.
- Fousseynou Ciss, a 39-year-old caretaker in northern Paris, rescued four babies and two adults from a burning sixth-floor flat last week.
- The fire broke out on the second floor, trapping two families in a top-floor apartment filled with toxic smoke, prompting Ciss to act instinctively.

- Paris Police Chief Laurent Nuñez announced on July 7 that Ciss will receive a medal recognizing "republican courage that commands admiration" for his selfless bravery.
- Though not a French citizen and currently working as a school receptionist, Ciss hopes his heroic act will improve his chances to be hired by the Paris town hall.
