Officials make an inventory to account for all residents, said police from Olmsted Falls. Many residents came out safely and gathered in a grassy area where tents had been set up to provide shade while studying their next steps.
The first engine to arrive at the scene received water on the fire and searched inside the building, the Olmsted Falls Fire Department said. The department ordered all the crews to leave the building around 11.20am to protect them.
Two firefighters were slightly injured and were taken to the Southwest General Hospital, fire officials said.
