CLEVELAND — Multiple people, including children, were able to safely escape a fire Monday morning at a four-family unit in the 1500 block of East 174th Street in Cleveland.
“I went to the bathroom, came back in the room and then we just heard people banging on the door that there was a fire," Jalisa Chapman told 3News.
She said her family -- including her husband and their three young children -- are all safe.
“I’m trying to keep it together as much as possible, especially for my husband," Chapman said. "I know this is weighing on him because his brother passed away and his pictures were still in the house. My father passed away, and I had his stuff, his pictures. He was a veteran. I had his flag and everything. I had everything. I have pictures from my mother when she was little, from my grandparents when they were little, my great grandparents. I had all that in my house and it’s gone."
No additional details about the fire were immediately available.
