VIDEO: When the bombs rain down, the White Helmets rush in

Operating in the 'most dangerous place in the world,' the Syrian Civil Defence, more commonly known as the 'White Helmets,' say they've rescued more than 62,000 people since their inception in late 2012. 

The group was first born when civilian volunteers established first-responder centres in opposition-controlled areas in Syria, including Aleppo, with the aim of providing a coordinated search-and-rescue response to Syrians under pro-government attack.

Bakers, tailors, engineers, pharmacists, painters, carpenters, students and others came together for a common mission: to save the maximum number of people.
