Seniors Rescued From Blaze at Michigan Jewish Assisted Living Complex


michblaze.jpgA massive blaze ripped through the Lillian & Samuel Hechtman Jewish Apartments in West Bloomfield Township, about 20 miles northwest of Detroit, on Wednesday morning. Local media showed images of brave firefighters carrying senior citizens out of the three-story independent-living complex. Miraculously, all 200 residents made it out safely.

Rescue officials told the Associated Press that only a few residents were treated for smoke inhalation – but added that none suffered life-threatening injuries. Assistant Fire Chief Ray Riggs said the fire is believed to have started in a third-floor boiler room.
