Thursday night, around 8 p.m., Cleveland firefighters received a call about a mother and her children trapped inside the home at 1701 Spring Rd.'As soon as we there, there's smoke showing. There's a woman on the balcony with her two babies screaming I'm stuck, I'm trapped, I'm trapped,' said Cleveland Firefighter Lewis Rodriguez.
I have babies of my own too,' said Rodriguez.Cleveland Police tried to enter the home first, but the smoke was so heavy they couldn't see a hand in front of them. 'She was giving the babies a bath before you know it. She probably the door closed behind her. She probably opened the door, and there was nothing but smoke,' Rodriguez explained.911 dispatchers also played a big role in this, guiding the mother safely out of the house to the balcony.
