“The fire was primarily located on the exterior of an attached maintenance garage at the Echoing Woods facility,” Bowman said. “The initial crew worked diligently to assist in the safe evacuation of the residents, while a second crew swiftly went to work extinguishing the blaze.”
The fire was contained and prevented from spreading to the interior of the structure, he said.
Once the smoke was removed from the interior, residents and staff were able to return.
No injuries were reported.
“The prompt response and coordinated efforts of the Trotwood Fire Department and the mutual aid departments played a pivotal role in ensuring the safety of the Echoing Woods facility,” he said.
Further investigations will be conducted to determine the cause of the fire.
