(COLUMBUS) - Firefighters rescued two toddlers who had crawled out a window onto the roof of their family’s central Indiana home.
Columbus fire Capt. Mike Wilson says crews were called to the home Sunday after a 911 caller reported seeing the children on the roof. Firefighters used a ladder to climb onto the roof over a front room of the house to reach the 2-year-olds and carry them down.
Wilson tells The Republic that medics determined the children were fine despite being outside in the 50-degree weather.
Police Lt. Matt Myers says the parents told officers they had put the children in a crib for a nap and thought they were asleep, but they somehow opened a window and climbed out.
He says no charges have been filed against the parents.
