Pre-arrival video: Man rescued from roof of burning Cleveland, Ohio factory.
From an article by Donna J. Miller at the Cleveland Plain Dealer:
Firefighters rescued one man off the second-story roof of a filter manufacturing plant after a fire erupted Monday afternoon.
More than 25 people evacuated Metchem Inc., a manufacturer of purifying filters and other pollution-control devices in the 700 block of East 82nd Street.
The fire was reported at 1:45 p.m. by an employee who noticed flames coming through the second-floor ceiling of the white brick building. He yelled, "Fire," and the building was quickly evacuated, according to Cleveland fire officials.
