An elderly man was reportedly found alive in an apartment building nearly five days after it was gutted by fire in Washington, D.C., according to officials.
D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, during a press conference on Monday, said that the 74-year-old man was found when crews hired by the building's owners were on a round to evaluate the safety of the structure so that fire marshals could enter the establishment. Bowser added that the senior citizens were rushed to local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, according to ABC News.
The mayor added that she believes that the unidentified man had been in his second-floor apartment ever since the fire, which occurred on last Wednesday.
