Using tools like spreaders and hammers, they broke the door to enter, though the man resisted their efforts. The firefighters first turned off the gas stove and removed the gas cylinder, eliminating the immediate danger. As the man was not in a state to listen, they managed to safely rescue him using ropes with the help of the police. The entire operation, which lasted about an hour, successfully averted a major disaster.
