That's what Ronnie Poe had to decide as fire raged inside his apartment building. With Poe clinging to the window ledge of his apartment for dear life, his neighbors ran around below trying to figure out how to save his life. "I had no choice but to lean out the window and hang on as long as I could," Poe said. Ronnie first smelled smoke in his apartment, that's when he discovered his kitchen was on fire. He tried to leave by the front door, but when he opened it flames shot out. He then had to retreat back into his apartment and into his bedroom. With the flames getting closer, he made the only decision he could, heading straight for the window climbing right out. He was immediately caught on cell phone video as neighbors yelled at him. "The smoke was coming in so bad. We said jump, jump we catch you. I said you a paratrooper, jump," Alaam Thomas said.
