No residents and staff of a Fox Crossing nursing home were hurt yesterday in an afternoon fire.
Crews were called to Oakridge Gardens Nursing Center on Midway Road. Fox Crossing Fire Chief Brian Harbison says all the residents were evacuated and they had 100 percent accountability within 15 minutes. One firefighter suffered a heat related injury. Harbison says fire burned through the building’s roof. He says the cause is still under investigation. A roofing crew was working on the building before the fire started but Harbison can’t say if the two are related.
