Firefighters Rescue Couple Trapped By Falling Ceiling While They Slept In Evanston Home

CHICAGO (CBS)-- A bedroom ceiling came crashing down on a couple sleeping in their Evanston home.

Rescue crews responded to a call around 2:45 a.m. Wednesday from a home int he 600 block of Forest. Jeff and Debbie Linder needed help from firefighters to get out from under the rubble.

It appears additional panels nailed to a lathe and plaster ceiling broke loose and fell on them.

"My head was underneath at first, I don't know how I squeezed out," Debbie said. "It was like a blanket of ceiling."

The Linders only suffered minor scratches.
