Firefighters rescue woman trapped in home by 6 feet of snow

Dec. 28 (UPI) -- A New York state fire department was summoned to the home of a woman who was trapped in her house by six feet of snowfall.

The Lorraine Volunteer Fire Company posted photos to Facebook showing firefighters digging the woman out of her home after six feet of snowfall barricaded her inside the house.

The fire company called on residents to make sure their neighbors weren't also stranded by the snow.

"Residents in the Town of Lorraine and Worth, please check on your neighbors. We were called to this residence this morning on French Settlement Road, where the resident couldn't get out of her home. Over 6 feet of snow fell yesterday in parts of the area," the post said.
