There is very little information with this video other than the fire occurred on Saturday and was possibly in Columbus, Ohio. A little Internet detective work came up with an article about a fire at 334 Buttles Avenue that described what looks like this rescue.
For confirmation the Google Street View image below of the neighborhood shows a similar looking apartment building in the middle of this block, along with Side B and D exposures that seem to match the video.

Now I could be wrong about this, but either way the video is sure worth watching. Here are excerpts from the WCMH-TV article:
A semi-conscious woman was taken to OSU Main Hospital Saturday night after her apartment building in the Short North was on fire.
Firefighters tell NBC 4’s ElJay Richards that the woman was found by firefighters in a second floor unit, above the first floor starting place of the fire in a six-unit building at 334 Buttles Avenue. Several other tenants were displaced by the fire, but not injured.
When firefighters pulled up to the intersection of Neal and Buttles, they could see flames in lower floor windows and immediately began a search of the three floors of the building. A neighbor across the street brought coats to occupants who had fled with only what they were wearing.
The injured woman as not identified by name. Fire officials said she suffered from smoke inhalation and second degree burns.
Other reports indicate there were multiple sources where the fire started and it has been determined to be arson.
