Excerpted from the WCMH-TV website:
The crew of Engine 13 in Columbus talked about the weekend fire near Ohio State University that killed five other students. They said that they have never seen so much smoke and flame or felt such severe heat.
The firefighters had raced up a hill behind the house and up the fire escape. They went inside without hoses. People outside were yelling that there were people in the second-floor bedrooms.
Thick smoke covered the second floor.
About a minute later the firefighters had gotten the three students out and were on the ground. Then the second-floor hallway burst into flames, and the crew ran back inside with hoses.
"The rescue probably only took about a minute or a minute-and-a-half to get these three victims out," Columbus Fire Lt. Carl Jepson (pictured, right) said. "We were shorthanded with medics. We had them on the way, so what these gentlemen did was to start first aid on these victims -- to start to get them breathing again because a couple of them were unconscious."
According to SnowLady in another thread from where this article was posted, Lt. Jepson, quoted above, is a Sig Ep from Ohio Northern University.
