VIDEO: Crews rescued a number of senior citizens from a burning apartment building in the Foggy Bottom neighborhood in Northwest Tuesday. DC Fire and EMS were called to the St. Mary’s Court on the 700 block of 24th St. NW at 11:35 a.m. for an apartment fire on the second floor of the eight-story building. There was heavy smoke throughout the building as a result. 120 firefighters used ladders and other equipment to lift senior citizens out of windows and get them to the ground, even after crews put the fire out. “The fireman just bodily carried me down the stairs outside and so I was freezing. And you know, it was horrible,” said neighbor Carolyn Tozier. Tozier lives two doors down from where the fire started. She said she was screaming for help.
