Firefighters rescued a woman who crawled out of a second-floor window to escape a fire Tuesday morning at a South Los Angeles residence.
Video showed the woman facedown on a section of rooftop with a precarious hold onto an edge. Firefighters responded at about 2 a.m. to the scene near West 43rd Street and Broadway, where there were reports of people trapped and smoke coming from the second floor of the fourplex.
Firefighters raised a ladder to the woman on the roof and helped her down. One person was hospitalized, but details about that person’s condition were not immediately available. Firefighters ventilated the roof of the building and knocked the fire down in 39 minutes. Details about how the fire started were not immediately available.
