    YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) — Youngstown emergency crews responded to a fire shortly after 4 a.m. on Saturday.

    Officials responded to the 300 block of Ferndale Avenue for reports of an occupied structure fire.

    A bystander tells First News that they saw a man wrapped in a blanket on the second-floor roof of the house and called 911.

    The victim was taken to the hospital for an assessment.
