Carrollton Firefighters Save Woman from Burning Apartment

0:00It's March 25th. This is Dallas News today, powered by AI. Carolton Firefighters pulled off a dramatic rescue this past weekend, saving a woman trapped in a burning apartment building. On March 21st around 10am, crews rushed to the 2600 block of Lake Hill Lane after reports of heavy smoke from a second floor, Union. Narrow pathways around the building made it tough to position their ladder. But the team pushed through and got the woman out safely. She was conscious but couldn't escape on her own, so they carried her down to waiting paramedics. Downstairs resident Ivan Monroe was at work when the fire broke out in his kitchen. His wife scooped up their four-year-old daughter and fled just as flames took over, leaving them shaken but unharmed. With help from the Addison Fire Department, crews quickly knocked down the blaze, keeping damage to just the one apartment. Officials ruled it an accidental kitchen fire. The woman's condition remains unclear after she was rushed to a local hospital. But the quick actions of those firefighters surely made all the difference in a tough spot.
