Brookdale Manor experienced a fire in the early hours of March 30th. We are grateful to report all residents were safely evacuated.
In those early hours, we saw the very best of our community and would like to extend our gratitude to a few groups for assisting our residents through this situation:
To the Whitewater Fire Department for an incredible response time and containment of the fire to the smallest possible area of the building, allowing the vast majority of our residents to return home the same day—and to the Whitewater Police Department for having officers on-site within just a few minutes of the alarm activation to assist in evacuation efforts. Police officers further assisted in transporting disabled residents to evacuation points.
To McDonald’s for opening their dining area early for evacuated residents to keep them from the cold weather.
And, to the Whitewater Walmart for a swift food and drink donation as residents were gathered in our community area for much of the morning.
We are thankful to be in this community full of so many willing to assist at these times. On behalf of grateful residents, Brookdale Manor, and DLK Enterprises, thank you to all.
