On June 11, a violent fire ravaged the 16 apartments of a building at 134 boulevard Brune, in the 14th arrondissement of Paris. As he takes out the trash, as he does every day, Djaléga Gnahoré gives the alert and rescues the inhabitants of this building. Of Ivorian origin and undocumented, he became a hero despite himself.
