Must see video: Mogadore, Ohio house fire with apparently two rescued. Lone firefighter makes first rescue.

This video is well worth taking the time to watch in its entirety. The video describes this as a house fireon September 23 with a report of two people trapped in Mogadore, Ohio. The video is from the dash of the police department vehicle that arrives first. I have found no other information online about this fire, but I will do my best describe what I think I see in this interesting video.

The first engine, from the Mogadore Fire Department, arrives on the scene at 2:30 into the video. It appears to have just two firefighters on board. The officer is approached by a man in a blue shirt who appears to be telling him something about the victims.

The firefighter stretches a line. As he is putting his hood and mask on the man in the blue shirt points inside the front door. The firefighter goes in the front door by himself at the 3:30 mark. Thirty seconds later the firefighter returns carrying a victim, who is left on the front line.

The man in the blue shirt tells the firefighter something else. The firefighter knocks some of the fire down from the outside and heads back in. Again he appears to be by himself. Eventually he is joined by at least one other firefighter that I can see. At 9:53 they have walked out and a firefighter is again talking to the man in the blue shirt who walks up on the porch and points again as the firefighters go back in.

At 12:15 a Springfield Township engine arrives. At 12:41 a firefighter walks out of the house escorting a second person. That person is walking on his own. The firefighter guides him to sit down on the lawn.

If you have more information on this fire please send it my way and feel free to correct anything that I have wrong based on my initial look at the video.
