Firefighter held hand of woman buried under building
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — One of the first responders who helped rescue a young woman from a building collapse in Sioux Falls that killed a construction worker said he thought of his daughters as he held her hand under the rubble.
Emily Fodness, 22, was trapped for three hours after a downtown building collapsed while being renovated Friday morning.
Sioux Falls firefighter Dustin Luebke held Fodness’ hand as crews used small tools to carefully cut through the mattress that cushioned her from the collapsed ceiling above.
