Video: Man rescued from roof of burning factory in Ohio

CLEVELAND — Firefighters responding to a factory fire in Cleveland had to first rescue a man from the roof of the burning structure.

A video posted online Tuesday shows the man trapped on the roof for about three minutes as the fire burns nearby.

A pair of firefighters use a single metal ladder to ascend one floor to a first roof with the help of a third firefighter, then bring the ladder to the base of the second-story roof for the man to climb down on.

The factory manufactures purifying filters and other pollution-control devices, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
