Dispatchers told KATU (ABC News' Portland affiliate) that someone called 911 at around 3:45 a.m. on January 16 to report that a woman had fallen between the parking garage of the Gretchen Kafoury Commons apartment building and the Joyce Furman building in Portland.
She was walking on the roof of the two-story building when she fell, according to KATU. The other building is 8 stories tall. Neighbors could hear the woman screaming for help.
The woman was stuck in a space that is roughly one-foot wide.
Firefighters cut a door-size opening in one of the concrete walls and used lubricant to help her slide out from where she was stuck.
Relief cuts were made in the walls and airbags were wedged between the walls in an effort to spread the walls out as much as possible.
The woman's plaid shirt was cut off, leaving her with only a turqoise t-shirt. When she finally managed to squeeze out of the space, the woman looked relieved and pumped her arms in the air.
She hugged and kissed her husband and paramedics quickly took her away to be examined for injuries.
