\nOne employee was able to get out. The other, Jonathan Tyrell, told CBS’ “Early Show” that he banged with a hammer, hoping someone would find him before the fire reached him.<\/p>\n
A firefighter was eventually able to pull him out.<\/p>\n
Tyrell says he hugged the firefighter and told him “thank you” over and over.<\/p>\n
But soon after the firefighters entered, flames swept the warehouse, blowing out windows and collapsing the roof.<\/p>\n
The cause of the fire at the Sofa Super Store Monday night is under investigation, although arson is not suspected.<\/p>\n
