Investigators say Omaha firefighters were dispatched to 25th and Binney Streets Monday evening after a neighbor saw fire coming from a vacant home.
First arriving crews found fire coming from the rear of a two story, single family home.
They say a person was then located on a first floor roof near the fire, but was refusing rescue efforts by pushing ladders off the roof.
Once they were able to get him onto a ladder, a struggle ensued, and the party was combative with fire crews.
The person was ultimately rescued and taken to a hospital for observation.
