Lynn Firefighters Save 2 From Roof Of Burning Home
LYNN (CBS) – Two people were saved from a burning home in Lynn overnight.
Firefighters found the man and woman trapped on the roof of the house on Birch Street when they arrived just before 4 a.m. Thursday.
They used ladders to get the two down safely and no one was hurt.
"They were both fine, they appeared to be fine," Lynn Fire Chief Stephen Archer told reporters.
Nine people lived in the home and the Red Cross is helping them find another place to stay.
There's no word yet on how the fire started.
"Heavy damage to the rear of the building. That's the place where we think it started and the cause of the fire is accidental," said Lynn Fire Captain Joseph Zukas.
