As the floor captain, Toi Sing-Daniels kept everyone informed of the instructions from management and firefighters when the fire started 10 floors below.
The fire at the Harper Square Cooperative, 4850 S. Lake Park Ave., left a woman dead and nine people injured. Flames climbed from the 15th floor where the fire started all the way up to the 24th floor – propelled by the wind.
"We knew we were going to make it," said Sing-Daniels as she sat on a couch next to Dorsey."We were like, we're getting out of here together."The neighbors were taking a moment to reflect on their 25th-story scare.Dorsey credits her neighbor with saving her and everyone on the top floor of the Harper Square Cooperative.
Dorsey could not see the fire from her apartment. Her first look came through a text from a family friend=which included video of the fire from outside.
