Early Friday morning, a fire broke out in the laundry room at Wright Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center in Fairborn. Firefighters moved between 25 and 30 residents to safety as a precaution, according to WHIO-TV. Thankfully, the facility's sprinklers, smoke detectors, and fire doors worked as intended, and no injuries have been reported. The cause remains under investigation.
Our thoughts are with the residents, families, and staff there this morning.
If you have a loved one in a nursing home or assisted living facility, especially in the Fairborn area, take a moment today to check in with them.
