The Medina County Sheriff’s Office rescued a woman trapped in a fire in Ohio, video shows

Firefighters rescued a woman through a small basement window as fire engulfed her home in Medina, Ohio, on Wednesday, Oct. 23.

Dramatic footage from the Medina County Sheriff’s Office shows crews approaching the burning home, breaking a basement window and, after some difficulty, managing to pull the woman through the tight space and to safety.

Medina Fire Chief Larry Walters told ABC News 5 Cleveland that firefighters used a multi-purpose beam as a stepladder to allow the woman to climb higher in the basement where rescuers could grab her and pull her out.

The footage shows the rescued woman calling the brigade to save her dog. Her family later said two dogs died in the fire, according to local reports.

The woman was treated for smoke inhalation at a local hospital and later released, Cleveland 19 News reported.

Additionally, four Sheriff’s Office employees and two firefighters were treated for smoke inhalation and minor injuries, the Medina County Sheriff’s Office said.
