Beersheba Towers was evacuated Sunday night after the top three floors filled with smoke when a garbage chute caught fire.One resident of the five-story building who had pre-existing lung issues was taken to River Park Hospital for treatment of breathing problems brought on by the smoke.“It was a sad situation to see all those people on walkers and in wheelchairs getting rushed out of the building,” said Beersheba Towers resident Nora Bryant, who herself uses a wheelchair. “Then when we got outside, it was cold out there. A lot of us had on our night clothes and didn’t have time to grab a coat.
