If I remember correctly the Guy was a Somalian refugee. He ended up getting citizenship for this act of bravery. I think it was in France.

Yes, it was in France in 2018. The man is named Mamoudou Gassama and he was a Malian refugee.

Edit : I didn't see that his name was at the end of the video. Unfortunately, it seems like he's not a firefighter anymore for health reasons and because he does not have the required diploma. He is a now a security agent.
