Several people were rescued from a large fire at an apartment building in the Rockville Section of Vernon, Sunday.
The Vernon Fire Department responded to the building at 26 Union Street at around 10:45 a.m. The building is across the street from Rockville General Hospital.
One of the residents told FOX61 she escaped just in time.
"I’m really grateful I got out ... I’m just ... it’s scary," said Emily Phillips of Vernon.
"Clothes, bed, like I really don’t have anything pretty valuable up there but there’s a baby in the apartment right next door. I cant imagine how scary that was," added Phillips.
Several people were "hanging from windows" when firefighters first arrived, Assistant Fire Chief Robert Babcock said.
