As many panicked, the brave man called out to the families trapped inside to keep passing the children to safety.
First, there were two babies whom he passed to another man waiting on the window of a separate building, then two older children, before the women followed suit.
According to French news outlet Le Parisien, Cissé said he did not hesitate before taking the risk to save the families.
“There were lives at stake, I didn’t calculate,” he said.
Le Parisien reported that Cissé’s actions were not only recognised on social media but also by the French President Emmanuel Macron, who called him personally.
Macron reportedly lauded his good deed as he awaits formal honour from the city of Paris.

Netizens praise Paris man for rescuing families trapped
Social media users praised Cissé for maintaining remarkable calmness and composure throughout the terrifying situation, noting how his courage contrasted with the panic displayed by others
Moses Terah:
“The calmness and composure in a difficult situation. No screaming, no panicking.”
Fi Fi:
“They’re over there screaming instead of calling firefighters or coming down to hold a blanket in case the baby falls.”
Adebowale Obalade:
“My dad always says, your neighbours are your first family, be good with them. This is one of the reasons. Well done to the man.”
Manasseh Mwangonde:
“France again. Last time it was the real-life Spider-Man from Mali who was made a French citizen after dramatically rescuing a small boy.”
Geremi De’dri Davies Jr.:
“Now the French government is about to employ him in their fire department and give him citizenship if he hasn’t already been given it.”
Yomi Babalola:
“Only a black man would do this kind of foolish hero thing. If a child falls now, they would sue him for endangering their lives instead of waiting for the fire service. Still, they won’t give him permanent residence.”
