Prodigy, 21, about to become doctor
ORLANDO, Fla., Dec. 20 (UPI) -- Multiple Orlando, Fla., families have been evacuated after raw sewage from a burst pipe flowed into their homes.
Officials said more than 12 families were trapped Wednesday in their Lake Village apartments until rescue crews were prepared to take them past the sewage flood, WKMG-TV, Orlando, Fla., reported Thursday.
"It is a health hazard and that is why we are keeping our people out of it and keeping the people inside," Orlando Fire Chief Rick Walker said.
The city has put the families up in a local hotel until the mess is thoroughly cleaned up.
