Four people who were downstairs were able to get out of the home safely, while three people who were upstairs crawled out onto the roof of the home. A woman was able to throw her baby from the roof to an officer waiting on the ground, and the infant was unharmed. The woman then jumped to escape the fire, sustaining minor injuries.
A neighbor used a ladder to help another victim off the roof. As officers were helping them down, the ladder broke, and one person fell onto the officers on the ground. One officer was injured.
The two-alarm fire required the assistance of 13 area fire departments and ambulance companies.
