Fire Forces D.C. Family to Evacuate | Washington DC News

A fierce fire tore through a D.C. apartment building, forcing 28 adults, 16 kids, and pets to flee — but thanks to neighbors’ quick action, everyone escaped safely. One resident, Danielle Mitchell, rescued her elderly mother and young daughter amid thick smoke, later reminding them — and us — that nothing replaces human life. As they face displacement, aid is pouring in, and for Mitchell’s daughter, the real gift this week might be time with family, not birthday presents.
