Fire damages Anita nursing home

January 31, 2005 By admin

Fire struck the Colonial Manor nursing home in the western Iowa town of Anita on Saturday night. All residents had to be evacuated but Anita fire spokesman Duane Murphy says the fire was contained to one resident’s room. Murphy says it appears the fire started near some nick-knacks along a wall in the room. The sprinkler system went off like it was designed to do and the residents were evacuated without incident to the other side of the building. Two people had minor injuries — one resident and one nurse. The State Fire Marshal’s office has been called in to investigate.
