JERSEY SHORE -- Third-floor residents of Manorcare Health Services in Jersey Shore were briefly evacuated after a small electrical fire broke out in a bathroom early Tuesday morning, according to Citizen's Hose Co. Fire Chief Matthew Fausey.
The fire at Manorcare occurred in the ceiling of a resident's bathroom on the third floor just before 5 a.m., Fausey said.
The fire activated the building's sprinkler system, which helped prevent the fire from spreading, Fausey said, adding that firefighters had the fire extinguished in a matter of minutes.
Once the fire was out and the water cleaned up, residents were moved back into their rooms, he added.
