Man found alive 5 days after fire swept home

Washington : A 74-year-old man was found alive Monday five days after a fire swept his retirement community building in Washington, Mayor Muriel Bowser said. The elderly man was taken to hospital and was expected to survive, Bowser said.

The man was believed to have been trapped inside his apartment within the housing complex during the fire last week, and shouted when he heard investigators outside his door on Monday. “The resident was found by crews hired by the building owners to evaluate the safety of the structure,” Bowser said.
