74-Year-Old Man Found Sitting On Couch Five Days After Apartment Fire

Raymond Holton has been found alive after the senior citizen apartment complex he lived in caught fire! 

According to USA Today -- An elderly man was found alive and apparently with a "sense of humor" inside of a D.C. senior apartment building five days after a fire broke out causing more than 100 residents to be displaced. 

Crews hired to evaluate the safety of the structure located 74-year-old Raymond Holton Monday morning sitting inside of his apartment in the building that caught on fire last Wednesday. Officials believe he is a resident of the second floor senior living community and had been in the building since the fire happened.

Despite the situation, Holton made a joke when crews arrived, saying he "wasn't going any place."

Holton was in "incredibly good shape" and told crews that he wanted to walk out of the building on his own. Crews helped Holton, who had non-life-threatening injuries, into a kitchen chair and then carried him out of the building so he could be taken to the hospital.
