A man helped save a woman from a burning house in Euclid.
The fire broke out at a home on East 239th Street near Babbitt Road and Euclid Avenue around 2 a.m.
When firefighters arrived at the scene, the house was fully engulfed in flames.
According to the Fire Chief, when firefighters entered the home, they found holes in the floors, limited visibility and high heat conditions.
A neighbor said he was getting off of I-90 when he saw the smoke and flames and realized what was happening.
He said he saw a woman hanging from a window of the home.
“She was dangling right out the window and by the time I opened my door to run to the window like right then she had already dropped and I just picked her up from there. The fire was so blazing, it was so blazing, it was blazing and I’m like feeling the heat. I picked her up I just rushed her down two houses down got up on the phone screaming for help," neighbor Jobonne Smith said.
Smith said the woman told him there was a man still inside the home.
"She was just basically screaming about the guy or somebody was in there. I heard him screaming help help help and I was pretty sad right there. I wish I could have ran in then and got him," Smith said.
She was transported to the hospital in an unknown condition.
Unfortunately, the man was found dead inside the home.
Firefighters estimate the house suffered $200,000 in damage and a neighbor’s house had moderate damage due to exposure to the heat.
There were no injuries to firefighters.
