Al-Yami is seen in the video breaking into a house engulfed in flames and smoke to rescue a woman and her four children.
Al-Yami, who was preparing to go to his duty with the Border Guards at King Abdulaziz Sea Port in Dammam, noticed the fire and immediately acted.
Despite suffering from asthma, he entered the building, evacuated residents from the second floor, and then proceeded to the third floor, where the family was trapped. After ensuring everyone was safe, Al-Yami collapsed and was hospitalized with burn injuries, a fractured right leg, and a sprained left foot.
His courageous actions have been widely praised on social media, with many Saudis commending his bravery and praying for his recovery.
Al-Yami himself expressed gratitude to God for enabling him to save the family, stating that his actions were a natural response to seeing others in danger and in line with the values he was raised with as a Saudi.
