A man is now being dubbed a "local hero" after a video of him smashing a door to take four children to safety went viral on social media.
Daniel Burguet was trapped inside the Whitby English language school in Paiporta, Valencia with the children, one of whom was his 11-year-old daughter, unable to reach a higher floor as the road became engulfed in water.
He eventually managed to break the door of the building next door and pulled the children to safety.
Local media have hailed him as the "Hero of Pairporta".
