A Washington, D.C., search and rescue K-9 is being hailed a hero after helping first responders locate a trapped worker in the Thursday building collapse that injured five.
Kimber was called in to aid in the effort after the five-story structure, which was under construction, fully collapsed in the district’s Brightwood Park neighborhood at around 3:30 p.m. ET.
While all of the workers were injured, four were pulled from the rubble after rescuers arrived at the scene and were later transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
However, one man was stuck for more than 90 minutes as firefighters desperately worked to free him from the layers of debris, using saws and other equipment to cut through the wood.
