JENISON, MI -- Her voice was hurried and frantic, marked with desperation in a situation that would stress anyone.

"The roof just caved in on us. My mother's whole roof just caved in on us. It landed on me. I was hit in the head. It hit my mother," Karla Scott told a dispatcher in a 911 call placed Wednesday morning, Feb. 19.

A copy of the call was released to MLive/The Grand Rapids Press by Ottawa County Central Dispatch Friday, two days after Scott and her mother, 81-year-old Margaret Scott, were rescued from the home.

The women suffered minor injuries and were taken to a local hospital for evaluation, but were otherwise expected to be OK.

Margaret Scott's home was not.

The roof caved in to the ground on one side, the result of heavy, wet snow buildup. The entire structure appeared to tilt forward, toward the front lawn, later Wednesday morning.

Georgetown Township Fire Chief Dan Hamming said the women were "very fortunate" in that they were on the side of the house that stayed partially intact when the collapse occurred.

Still, the women were not able to exit on their own and had to be helped out of a window by responding police and firefighters.

In the background during Karla Scott's call, made from the kitchen area, her mother could be heard saying only, "Oh my God."

"We have to get out of here," Karla Scott responded. "We can't stay in here."

An incident report shows the women were freed at 4:08 a.m. and 4:20 a.m., about an hour after their initial call.

The home was likely a total loss due to the extent of damage, Hamming said.
