About 120 people have been displaced by a large apartment fire in New Carrollton.
Prince George’s County fire department spokesman Mark Brady said around 8:30 p.m. Tuesday residents flagged down police officers to report the fire at the Southern Walk apartment complex at 5328 85th Ave. Police officers immediately began moving people out of the four-story building.
Fire crews used a ladder to rescue several people, including an infant, from the top floors. Four residents were transported to hospitals with minor illnesses or injuries.
It took about 40 minutes and nearly 100 firefighters to bring the blaze under control. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
