Firefighters carried senior citizens out of a fire at a three-story independent-living complex in Michigan on Wednesday, and officials said all 200 residents made it to safety. Police and fire officials at the retirement apartments in West Bloomfield Township, about 30 kilometers northwest of Detroit, said a few residents suffering from smoke inhalation and chest pains were taken to the hospital 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. He said one section of the building was extensively damaged. Firefighters were seen on television news walking on the roof, creating vents as they worked to extinguish the afternoon fire.
