EUCLID, Ohio (AP) — A suburban Cleveland fire department has
taken to social media to credit a woman with saving two disabled
neighbors from a fire in their apartment.
The Euclid Fire
Department said in a Facebook posting Wednesday that the woman neighbor
managed to get the residents out after a grease fire broke out in their
apartment. WKYC-TV (http://on.wkyc.com/1rnU4M0 ) reports that one
of the residents was in a wheelchair and the other was an elderly woman on oxygen.
The
woman, who wasn’t named, lived upstairs. Firefighters said she
evacuated the residents from the smoke-filled apartment before they
arrived.
The fire department’s Facebook post lauded the woman "for
her quick reaction and response….This neighbor selflessly risked her
life to save her neighbors. We would like to thank her for the bravery
she exhibited tonight."
