“I was nearby when the house caught fire, and I decided to save the flag,” the post reads.

The video was taken by a friend of the flag-saving man and shared with KTLA.

Massive flames could be seen burning inside the home and through the roof as the man is standing just feet away.

“I would like to return it to its rightful owner,” the post on hinkal.usa states.
