"Shock and awe."
That's the only thing Canton Division Chief Steve Henderson could say when, after a boarded up building burned for an hour, a man simply walked out.
“Came out the front door and walked past the crews, they tried to stop him and question him, and he just walked off,” Henderson told Fox 8.
He said he'd never seen anything like it during his 27 years on the job.
The three-story apartment building that had been boarded up was too dangerous to do an interior search. So, firefighters searched rooms from ladders after bystanders said there were three people on the third floor.
They didn't find anyone.
That's why crews were stunned to see a man walk out.
When medics tried to check him out, he yelled expletivies at them and ran away.
