Corner Newspaper Salesman Helps Rescue Woman From Fire

Posted
By: A Baltimore fire spokesman says citizens helped an elderly woman escape from a burning house in east Baltimore.

Chief Kevin Cartwright says the fire in the 400-block of East North Avenue started about 9:30 a.m. at the three-story brick rowhouse. When firefighters arrived, Cartwright says the woman was outside the house and uninjured.

Rocky Scott tells The (Baltimore) Sun he was selling newspapers nearby when he saw smoke. That's when he says he joined three other people to go in the home and help the woman out.

He says he was just doing the right thing and doing what he was raised to do.
