A father and his young son were rescued from a fire in their Colerain Township home overnight, fire officials said.
Neighbors rescued the child, and firefighters pulled his father from the home, according to Fire Batallion Chief Tim Beach.
Crews were called to Yuba Court just before 9:30 p.m. Wednesday night.
The two children were inside the home when flames broke out, according to a neighbor who called 911 to report it and summon for help.
Once smoke started to fill up the residence, an older sibling ran to her house for help, she told the dispatcher, warning that the smaller child may still be in the burning house with his father.
“My neighbor’s kid just ran all the way down from the circle stating that the house is on fire," a female neighbor told a dispatcher. "My boyfriend just went up there and he yelled that the door is locked and they can’t get back in....there could possibly be a kid in there.”
