Rescuers free woman wedged between 2 buildings for about four hours

PORTLAND, Ore. — Firefighters cut a hole through concrete and used an air bag and a soapy lubricant to free a woman who fell and became stuck in a narrow opening between two buildings Wednesday morning.

The woman spent about four hours in a space 8 to 10 inches wide. News shows broadcast footage of the rescue and showed the woman emerging at about 7:30 a.m.
