DISTRICT HEIGHTS, Md. -
Dozens of people are without a place to live after a three-alarm fire in Prince George’s County.
They were all saved by a Police Officer, who saw the flames shooting out of the Rocehelle Hall Apartments, and yelled for people to get out.
He did it just in time, as the fire spread quickly.
The fire started around 8 p.m. on Tuesday in the 1900 block of Rocehelle Avenue.
When fire crews arrived, flames were shooting from the roof, and the third floor collapsed.
More than 100 firefighters were called to the scene.
Nobody was injured, and investigators say it started inside a lower level apartment. There is no word on what caused the fire.
