The Chillicothe Fire Department rescued a small child and her parents from the second floor of an apartment complex Tuesday night.

According to a report on social media by the Livingston County Emergency Management/Chillcothe Fire Department firefighters responded to 19 Webster Apartment just before Midnight.

When fire crews arrived on scene they found smoke coming from the northeast corner of the second floor of the building.

Fire crews deployed a ladder to rescue a small child from the second floor window from the arms of her parents.

Crews then entered the building and helped the child’s parents make it down the stairwell and to safety.

Another individual was found laying in the hallway outside the room on fire. That occupant was transported to the hospital along with a neighbor for further care.

There was reported to be extensive fire damage to Apartment #7 as well as smoke and water damage throughout the Apartment complex.

All residents were told to find another place to stay for the night and power was disconnected from the building.

The State Fire Marshal was called in to investigate the cause of the fire.
