Three at a time: If you haven’t seen the raw security camera video we posted last night from the fire in the District of Columbia where three small children were rescued, you will want to. Cameras on two floors captured the action inside 1920 Naylor Road, SE as crews from Engine 15 and Rescue Squad 3 find the fire and then the children. The boy and two girls, who had been left alone in the apartment, were not breathing and one was in cardiac arrest.
