A boy was rescued from a house fire Saturday evening in Crafton Heights when a neighbor climbed onto the second floor and helped the boy through a window, police said.
First responders were called to the fire in the 1100 block of Fredonia Street around 4 p.m. When they arrived, they saw the man and boy on the porch roof with heavy smoke coming from the window, according to Pittsburgh Public Safety Spokesman Maurice Matthews.
After placing a ladder up to the roof, firefighters escorted them down.
