Medina Fire Chief Larry Walters said firefighters used a multi-purpose prybar as a step to allow the woman to gain height in the basement where rescuers could grab her and pull her out.

The footage shows the rescued woman calling for a team to rescue her dog. Her family later said two dogs had died in the fire, according to local reports.

In addition, four sheriff’s office employees and two firefighters were treated for smoke inhalation and minor injuries, the Medina County Sheriff’s Office said.
