How frightening! So very sorry to hear this. I hope the 22 have lots of family, friends support to help them through this. It has to be so confusing and scary for them to have their lives disturbed this way. I'll have you all in my heart with hopes for everyone to get re-settled in a good way. I'm assuming you are ok, just feeling concerned for the 22.

So sorry to read this, Marie. And at this time of year. How awful. I'm glad there were no injuries. Very lucky. I will add you and the others to my prayers. I hope you all can get back to normal quickly.

I am so sorry to hear this. My prayers are with you and the others. It is sad to lose one's things, but what a blessing that there were no injuries. God bless.

Sad to hear! Special thoughts for everyone!

Oh, Marie, I'm so sorry. And of all the groups for that to happen to, I know routine, familiarity are important and this must be so hard.

Do you think the physical needs are being met, you mentioned Red Cross. Were there any smoke issues in your own apartment?

Thank you, I am in the third building away, and most of us did not even hear the sirens and see the flashing lights. The staff is great here getting things organized and the people in Basic care and assisted living areas (me) are all working together having to give up for a bit some of our activities until we find other places to have them as the regular activity room is turned into a dinning area for the Memory care ladies. The med aid nurses are so great.
Not sure if the link will work, really don't know how to do it.

Glad you and your place are unscathed. Such a hardship for those ladies.

So sorry they have to go through this, but how very fortunate no one was hurt. Glad so much help arrived quickly.

Marie, I found a news story of the fire. Was this what you were trying to link, or close to the one you had in mind...

Here is a link that might be useful: Memory Care fire

So sorry to learn of this. I'm very glad there were no injuries. I wish everyone well.

Sad that it happened but thankful all were safe....

Thanks for posting the link. I would like to know how to do it

This could have been a real tragedy, thankfully all are safe. Hopefully all the residents have a good Christmas despite this disruption in their lives.

Marie, I'm kind of a dinosaur when it comes to some computer skills, I just have a few ...

Click on the web address/url of the page you would like to link, like your news story. The one (clear at the very top) on this page shows http://ths.gardenweb etc. Click to highlight there, then Press Ctrl, and while still holding that, press the C on your keyboard.

Then come here to the box where it shows Optional Link URL, click in the box, hold the Ctrl key again and press V on your keyboard. The web address/url of the page you would like for people to read should copy there. You can give the link a name in the box below that so people know something about what you have linked.

You should be able to check in Preview Message to see if it's worked, then submit.

Highlight the article address by clicking in that box, then Ctrl and C, then click into the Optional URL box bottom of your post, Ctrl and V.

And I hope things are going well for you and the other residents there today.
